Gray tank leaking
My grey water tank started leaking all of a sudden, only when full. My fist thought was it must be a fitting but, when I pulled down the underbelly, it seems to be leaking someplace on top of the tank...

I had my gray tank leak only when completely full. The pipe going into the tank wasn't sealed good. I put a hose clamp on and got it tightened the best I could. I also bought some of that "flex seal" stuff. It wasn't the brand seen on TV but a brand from the local hardware store. Hasnt leaked since. Mine is a MH in a heated compartment. And it would be a huge PIA to take the tank out. So I tried this first.
The way these things are built, that's the first place I checked because it was easiest to see. The joints are glued/welded exceptionally well. In fact, all the abs pipe Looks like it was done well. Kind of surprising but then how hard is it to learn how to glue abs pipe? You can be pretty skilled in about a day.
I guess I just have to figure out where to cut. Hmmm...behind that last elbow is about an inch of pipe. Maybe there's something I can do to get that to work. The problem is the elbow has to line up with the tank (or I have to reposition the tank and modify the connection to the sewer line).
I'll check with a plumber tomorrow. Thanks for all the ideas. And yes, it is a PITA. I just hope I find a simple problem once I get the tank down.
