Open Roads Forum  >  Toy Haulers  > Cracked holding tank-UPDATED, fixed it This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next EricRobinson8 • View posts Fountain Valley CA. Senior Member Joined: 08/02/2003 View Profile Posted: 04/13/12 11:32am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I have a leak on the bottom of my fresh water tank, where the drain comes out. Is there a material or glue I can put on it to fix the leak? I was hoping this would be considerably cheaper than getting a new tank.

There is also a version of it at home depot that is sold in the plumbing section. Comes in a tube with a red top. Just use it liberally over the whole area of the leak. I even used this to repair a large hole in my rzr rim and it is still holding air a year later!

Also be confident it will hold. Personally I would replace the tank. Best of luck.

Can you use Eternabond tape? I used Eternabond to patch a leak on the top of my water tank over a year ago and haven't had any trouble since then. But you have it worse with a leak on the bottom. My leak on the top wasn't so bad. 2004.5 Dodge 2500 Diesel • 2005 Weekend Warrior FS2600 • Hooligan #3 Toys: 05 Yamaha WR450 07 Honda CRF250X 05 Honda CRF230 06 Honda CRF230 06 Yamaha TT-R90E The Edmistons - Our Gallery Never forget 9-11-01 Check out our blogs @ blog.rv.net phillyg • View posts Front Royal, VA Senior Member Joined: 04/24/2002 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/13/12 01:14pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Some plastics can be "welded." Find out from the mfgr what type of plastic, and search for plastic welding and you may luck out. 2002 Keystone Cougar 286, 8,400lbs loaded, pulled with a 2004 F150 Supercrew, 5.4, 3.73 gears.

It's pretty soft plastic, should make a good weld. shifter • View posts so cal New Member Joined: 01/20/2006 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 04/13/12 01:42pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator If the tank is made of polypropylene welding is the only permanent fix, the other stuff might work, might not. You will find out which in the middle of a vacation trip.
