Fuel Line issue

It was suggested to me that I could chase threads out with a tap becuase there is still plenty of thread left. New tanks are $450 so I am highly motivated to reapair damaged threads.
 
Unless there are spider cracks in the plastic fuel tank around the aluminum bung fitting, I would chase the threads.
There is no pressure involved at the point the fuel pick up screws into the tank, so it should seal just fine.
Put a little thread sealant on to help keep the threads from seizing.
 
No spider cracks and the threads cleaned up nicely. I am relieved because replacing both tanks is expensive and I'm not sure they still make the 25 gallon tanks.
