water tanks

Hi Wayne

Where are Pete and Vonnie when you need them?

How badly damaged?

We have not replaced ours, although despite all attempts, some still leak a bit around the fittings.

In 2008 i did a search in the internet and found caravan stockists had them in the dimensions, but i don't think they were the same thickness. We did notice sturdy ones in the caravan park shop at Alice Springs Heritage CP - where Pete worked last year.

I just checked two of the caravan part on line shops i have used, and both have similar sized tanks.

G'day Wayne

I recall seeing a post where a tank was heat repaired with the aid of a strip of wheely bin plastic.
Glues just don't stick.

Cheers

2001 van, likely to be a tank from Camec.
Possibly the same manufacturer as the ones mentioned by MH

Gidday!
If gluing is the only option, a product distributed by Protective Coatings (USA) called PC7 or PC11(marine version), WILL adhere to any plastic. Some Bunnings have it. It is not cheap but I have used it to glue PVC which is hard to glue and so far, it has not let me down. It is better, in my opinion that Quiksteel which I thought pretty good too!

The tanks are Camec and we have some here at BT.
Also can be repaired by melting (via a flame) a cable tie. Probably best to just replace the tank though.
Incidentially, I am now back at BT in purchasing and warranty etc.

Thanks to all who assisted this is what menbership is all about.


Hi to Peter and thanks nice to have a friend back at BT - and also thanks to Mother Hen I will purchase a new tanks form caravan parts after I have removed and made certain it is beyond repair.

Regards all

hope to see you at the Muster
