Atwood water heater leaking

Question

I have an Atwood water heater 93756 that is leaking from the cold water input connection. After working on it for 3 days I finally realized that the fitting is not leaking but the tank is leaking where the threaded insert is pressed into the tank right around the weld. It is a very small leak, about one drip every minute or two. Anyone ever had this problem?

That usually indicates the tank froze. That is NOT the model number. It is the manual document number. You can replace the inner tank as it is a replaceable part. Doug

Not sure what happened, I drained it when I winterized but it looks like it has been leaking since I opened the camper this spring. This heater is 10 years old and not sure if it is worth replacing just the tank, I found a new water heater at Tweetys for under $250 delivered. Any idea where I can get just the tank?

I would try to fix it first. JB Weld makes several different products that would probably work. Their epoxy is suitable for high temperatures and are easy to use. For approximately $6 you can permanently stop the leak. Give it a try!

Forgot about that stuff, I'm going to give it a try tonight.
