Gang I'm getting ready for a big trip and have been checking all my systems and found a leak near the top of my aft water tank on my 91 mk1.5. There's an indent where the tank fits below the steering quadrant and I've sprung a leak in the crease there. Its easy to get the tank out but does anyone have a recommendation for fixing this leak. It's like a pinhole leak and I was thinking I could spread some epoxy on there and call it good. Anybody have any other tried and true methods?
There were several posts/chains on this very tank repair issue in the last few weeks. It is possible to "attempt" a repair. Do a little digging/scrolling/searching of recent posts--you will find it. Start here? http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,9259.msg68134.html#msg68134
Joy : The real way to fix that leak is to hot air weld it.
Being only a pin hole I'd clean the "hole area" with acetone and try a piece of metallic duct tape over the hole. I believe it might hold.
A thought
FYI I bought the 16.99 Plastic Welder and gave it a go. It looks to be crude but effective. I'm not sure if I want to post pictures of my first plastic weld, but it seems to be holding all right.
