Thread: Tank leaking need a new one

Started 3 months ago by stoney126
Hey all, when I was doing the shackle flip I noticed some moisture at the bottom of the tank. It had some sort of apoxy to seal it. I guess I disturbed it cuz the slight dampness has formed qaurter size puddles over a months time. nothing serious but I need to change it. So I have a m1009 I believe it comes with a 27 Gal tank. Ive seen 31 gallon ones on line that go for 120.00 bucks. Will ...

Wish you were close I have a 32 gallon sitting on the side of my house. Just swapped it out for a 32 gallon fuel cell.

It will work, but you need new straps and the correct sending unit for the bigger tank.

The bigger tank will also hang down lower from the frame.

Use ''seal-all', it will seal it up well. Put some on and let it dry, cut a small piece of cloth and put more on with the cloth, let it dry, then put on one more coat, sealed up for along time. http://www.biosafe-inc.com/sealall.htm

Someone already used some sort of sealant to plug it up once. Would it be a good Idea to take that and redo it?

BILTIT replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
You can try and seal right over it. I have had tanks last many years after sealing this way. Really depends on the shape of the rest of the tank though.

Well As far as I can tell, the rest looks ok. Ill give it a shot and see how it turns out.

I used J-B Waterweld putty on my 6.2's rotted oil pan back in Jan. 2008.and its just started weeping again,I think the pan is now rusted just below where I applied it..I was surprised it has held that long myself,having little faith in epoxy's and bondo type "fixes"..I simply drained the oil,and at first tried using "tinners flux" and 50/50 solder to seal the rot holes up after using carb cleaner...
