I need to leave for work around 5:30, 6 at the absolute latest. If you can do that, though, I'll fill the tank.

I'll go try to get mine off now, and we can swap when we get to your XJ. I'll just take it back when the MJ is happier.

It fills in the hole from casting so they can have a hollow cast. And it's more of an expansion plug, nothing to do with freezing
