Yea I am just going to seal it, I already ordered a kit.  When these tanks are new, or under normal conditions, are they coated with something that keeps them from rusting?  Or is it a case once the tank does rust and you clean it off, it will then rust again very fast?  I am just wondering

Yep, it does, and you would think it would only go in one way. However if you try hard enough, it will go in just fine upside down.  With these adapters they sometimes do not have a big enough of a tab to prevent this.  Its not hard to get it in upside down but goes in smooth with it correct.

I figured out what she did.  She managed to plug the adapter in upside down which sent the 12 volt acc straight to the ground of the 4 flat on the trailer.  It burned that wire all the way to the frame of the trailer.  In looking at the adapter, the 4 flat ground is fused to the adapter and I
