Atwood Water Heater Tank Crack Repair ? UPDATE
Update 11 Aug
-----------
Not sure yet, but it appears a friend might need a tank repair. Can you fix that with the usual suspect car body repair stuff--fibreglass and that Bondo goop or whatever?
She has water coming out on the floor from under the tank at the inside end ( where the hot and cold and by-pass hoses are attached--they are not leaking) and the outside where the drain plug is.
I can't think of any other hose connection or whatever that might leak between the ends of the tank underneath above the floor.
It is possible, but not known, that the tank might have frozen while full in the winter. Would that crack a tank?
It will be a few days before I can pull the whole thing out from her trailer and see where the leak is, but in the meantime, it would be useful to know whether if it is the tank, it can be a DIY fix.
Thanks
