Hi Jeff,

I haven't yet tried the plumber's wrench on the tank bung. I have used a basin wrench to loosen a heater hose, but on the tank bung I got lucky when I looked around the house for a suitable spanner tool and found this to fit perfectly.

One advantage of having something like this tool, or the purpose-made (correct) tool, is you can put some downward force while turning, to aid in getting the tapered fingers of the lock ring engaged while compressing the O-ring for a good seal. I supposed it could be done with the crossed screwdrivers, but a lot depends on the surgeon's coordination, skill, and patience, working through that barely adequate incision.
