Leaky waste tank
Dealt with a number. I've found SuperMend epoxy to be an excellent fix. It's
available at my local hardware store in the glue section. I typically use fiberglass cloth with it for larger leaks. I have found it superior to plastic welding. I've never found it necessary to remove a tank in order to repair it.

I pulled the shroud, emptied the tank and dried things out, then today filled it until it started leaking. Took to 3/4 full before leaking became obvious, and it quickly grew. So far as I can tell it is not from anywhere around the drain - appears to come from somewhere further to the rear. > > I'm guessing my only option is to pull it and look. I'm taking it to my local small RV repairer tomorrow - as usual they will be happy to have me do most of the labor under their direction and with their tools. > > I hoping they will have good ideas on how to get it off the valve in order to get it turned to come out, but I'm wondering if someone has done it on a PT-40? > > > Don Bradner > 90 PT40 "Blue Thunder" > Eureka, CA > |
