Is there a product that stops such small leaks (kind of like car radiator repair)? Or am I now in the market for a new one? Please Advise.

If this tank is leaking REPLACE IT and unless you know someone who has a “R” stamp certified welder (ASME) no way you want to dare try any repairs Author Posts Viewing 1 reply thread You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
