Default A GOOD CHOICE FOR A HOMEBREW FUEL TANK PLUG

Hello all,
Anyone have a good idea for a plug to use on a fuel tank that is inexpensive.

I saw some rubber plugs at Lowe's yesterday that looked like they would work well but if there is something better please advise.
Jo-Ann fabrics has nice 1oz paint bottles that work great as fuel tanks but they need a rubber/silicon plug

Some rubber will break down and foul your glow plug. Other than that.... I think all the commercial stoppers are white rubber.(?)

You could try casting your own stopper, complete with all penetrations out of GE SILICONE caulk. I say you could try because I've never done it.
