hey guys wondered if anyone had done this successfully, we would prefer our tank to be upright rather than flat, how would you go about sealing up the lid, maybe silicon, just wondered
thanks

why not answer the question and not state the obvious

because he doesn't have an answer, I imagine lots of silicone would do the job, but I haven't tried it

I went from flat to upright (OOOHERR) Just like yourself i thought about using the old one and somehow sealing the lid , in the end i just bought an upright tank , i suppose this gave me piece of mind , I now use the old tank as a holding tank in doors. Sorry this doesn't answer your question but my point of view on the subject was i thought it safer in the end while still getting good use out of the old flat tank.

wont be long until that silcone blows
My advice is buy a upright

[billozz]

why should it blow theres no pressure in the tank

ok will answer it properly

u need to seal the lid,   make a new hole to put water in,  u might have to move the elbow at bottom of tank depending on where it is,  there is no guarantee that it wont leak,  but if you want i would use sealant that will bond any thing to any thing,  about £8 in b and q, probably cost about £25 quid in materials, and a day or so waiting for it to dry, then when you fill up  check it for leaks at all the points that you have had to make,  and if leaking you might have to start again,
