Update on Leaking Diesel Tractor Tank - 06/12/17
Some may remember when I posted my big tractor was leaking a bit.
It wasn't really too much of an issue, and would only leak a cup or two overnight.
Well, it was getting progressively worse.
Ended up taking the tank off and identifying the problem not as a puncture, but a weak spot in the tank that was a small crack that was obviously growing, as it was now leaking 5 gallons a night.
Found out about a plastics company 50 miles from here that repairs plastic tanks. Took it there, and they welded the spot, and reinforced the area with a plastic welder. Put the tank back on, hooked everything up, and voila! No leak.
Happy there was a place like that close to me.
Problem solved.
