monsieurhappy Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 After nearly 15 years my 2000L stainless steel water tank as started leaking! The leak is on the flat bottom so it has obviously corroded! As the tank stands in the sun for half the day it gets hot and as I was thinking of buying a new "plastic" tank. I was wondering if anyone has found that the sun causes any problems or if the "plastic" tanks can withstand these conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builder Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 If you take the stainless tank to the local fab shop that makes stainless railings and get it repaired you should get another 15 years out of itSent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
