Title: Hole in tank
Post by: krave on November 18, 2010, 11:39:11 pm
Right, when doing my new van install the other day, I have put a 6mm hole through the side of my tank. I am working tomorrow so need to plug this up on the morning.

Any ideas on how to go about it?

Cheers in advance....  :)

Was just think of a screw with a lot of epoxy glue/silicone or what ever the stuff is around the thread.

Half way up a 350ltr tank lol....

Only noticed it this evening, so It needs to be plugged quickly in the morning  :-\ ....

As said use a self tapper if poss. Then cover top  with fernox lsx. It's a small tube of repair silicone. it will prob be ok without the screw even. Buy it in plumb center or similar for around a fiver. Nothing better. Also don't use a cheap screw it will rust.

 Drill the hole bigger and fit a bath plug, from the inside or the water pressure will force it out.  ;D ;D
