Epoxy softens with heat. Heat the part to several hundred degrees
and use a rotary wire brush on a drill to remove the epoxy.

If the tanks exit flange hole size to internal volume is small 20%
you will have to use inert gas inside while heating or the explosion
will not be a good thing.

The oil tank o this particular A-65 has a small leak near the
mounting flange. The owner has repeatedly applied JB Weld in
an effort to stop the leak, but without much sucess.

So we are going to try brazing the thing, but first have to
remove a pound or so of stickum.

Any suggestions on what NOT to do???
