Subject:Patching a water tank?
From:Don Hanson
Date:Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:49:42 -0700

Has anyone found a way to patch our water tanks?  The material (PVC,
Poly -pro, whatever) doesn't let much stick to it at least in my past
experience trying epoxy, polyester, etc.  Is there a way to repair that
stuff?  I have to fix my Alaskan's tank so I can tow my "Tool-box/Vanagon"
down south.  The material in that tank is the same as my Westy tank, except
I can't find a replacement for it anywhere, and to re-design the interior of
my camper is not workable...Is there some kinda "Goo" that sticks to the
whiteish translucent plastic that tanks are made from?  Anyone try
marine-tex with any success?
  I really don't want to get to the desert and find my 'repair' is not
working, because 're-repairing' out in the sand without tools and
electricity is not fun..
  Anybody?
