If there anything else that is safe to use to bung the outlet of a cold water storage tank. Could do. With some bungs tomorrow but most places can only get. Hold of them next day. Thanks
 
A McAlpine Washing machine spigot might work, I tried it once, but wasn’t sure how long it would last (mine was a quick fix - gate valve) - it was a tigh5 fit though. McAlpine WMF3 Straight Nozzle 1½ - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/mcalpine-wmf3-straight-nozzle-1-white-45mm/5689P?tc=JT7&ds_kid=92700055281954514&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1249404&gclid=CjwKCAjwx9_4BRAHEiwApAt0zt_aF8hwt3SgF4Su4PhNZPhT5ThJcZX8O_upMbgkNtmemlnZ6wiBmBoClLYQAvD_BwE

I think cork was used many years ago.

Can you not drain it and install a valve for future use, either by you or whoever follows on from you?

Failing that, carve a wooden peg and tap it into the outlet.
