Thanks. I do use teflon tape and don't overtighten. I had bought a brass plug but did not install it since I could not find out what the tank was made of - although I may put it in (for a short period) if the plugs keep splitting every 2 weeks.

I'm thinking about putting a layer of epoxy on/in the head of the plug. They seem to always split in the thinnest portion of the head. Maybe an 1/8" layer of epoxy would eliminate the issue but the fact that it is happening concerns me. Is this a common problem? I'll check the pressure relief valve to be sure it isn't malfunctioning but......?
