Gray Tank leaks when full
My gray tank leaks when full. I haven't removed the bottom enclosure yet but will on the next nice day. What can I expect to find. I have a 2007 Montana 3475.

I also have same problem with the black tank. To drop the tank is going to be a big deal of a job. Then "if" I can see and repair the problem I have to get it back and keep that seal in place. The factory screwed it so I'm thinking so also will I !!
Was wondering about that spray seal you see that guy on TV using to seal a lot of things, even a screen door used for the bottom of a boat. Will have to get at it from the top. What I can see is they cut a 4" hole for a 2" pipe, so pushing the insulation back with my fingers and a stick and spraying that stop leak over a period of a full day or 2, little at a time so it runs down the pipe, across and around the joint and top of tank, hopefully, as it will be a blind job. Not the right way, but if it works. Then if you ever have to remove the tank, one would need to cut the pipe above the floor and use a rubber coupler to put it back together, which will be the proper way as I see it and seal the heck out of that pipe to tank while it is sitting on your work bench. Saying all this as I "think" my leak is from the vent line input. If it is the toilet down pipe input to the tank I will not be able to get at it without cutting the floor away inside the wall and spraying from that point. Problem is with the tank top all cruddy and dirty now, will that stuff ever stick as that plastic is very hard to get something to bond to as it is.
