leak in gray water tank

[bubblerboy64]

My experience is some what limited but having had a couple trailers
and now the BB (and a couple leaks) mine have always been at points
where something screws into or attaches to the tank. A drain valve or
an inlet. These are easier to fix because essentially you unscrew and
dope up the joint and you are done. If the tank is actually ruptured
some place then you have another situation all together. Of course
the real challenge which you have already found is to in fact find
the leak. If there is any question I might take the chance and
remove and reseal the connection points first before taking on the
rest. Seems to me the vibrations and such tend to loosen the stuff
and I have never had an actual break in the tank itself. Not to say
that it will not or could not happen. If the tank is leaking I
believe I would try to get it out of the coach and go over it top to
bottom because shore as shootin if you do not you will put it back in
only to find it still leaks.
