Hello i have a 650 ltr tank, used to use it as a static tank now use it as tank in my van, when tank was in shed the top has gone all warped so cant screw lid on properly, does go on but not properly and water keeps coming out, have tried other things last idea was a swimming hat stretched on the lid openning no good water to powerful.
ANY IDEAS :'( :'(

you could try getting a blow torch and slowly heating the tank screw bit, they getting it fairly warm and then screwing the lid on it
failing that, wrap some PTFE tape about the thread of the tank and try and do the lid on
failing that again
get some PLUMBERS MATE ( its a type of paste ) smear it around the lid that you screw on, then screw the lid on best you can, the plumbers mate will fill in any of the gaps of the treaded lid

cheers mate, i need the lid to come on and off to fill the tank up as for heating it the whole has really warped the lid screws on but only one side and leaves a hole on other.
Great ideas though cheers

i had same prob cured it by siliconeing inside lid and screwing it on
just make sure you don't need to take it off again in a hurry
mine is for my pressure washing set up have another onboard
tank for windows worked for me hope this helps
