Tank leaking need a new one

stoney126 · 09-21-2009, 10:07 PM

Hey all, when I was doing the shackle flip I noticed some moisture at the bottom of the tank. It had some sort of apoxy to seal it. I guess I disturbed it cuz the slight dampness has formed qaurter size puddles over a months time. nothing serious but I need to change it.

So I have a m1009 I believe it comes with a 27 Gal tank. Ive seen 31 gallon ones on line that go for 120.00 bucks. Will these work? Should I avoid these and go with something else or stay 27?

Wish you were close I have a 32 gallon sitting on the side of my house. Just swapped it out for a 32 gallon fuel cell.

It will work, but you need new straps and the correct sending unit for the bigger tank.

The bigger tank will also hang down lower from the frame.

Use ''seal-all', it will seal it up well.

Put some on and let it dry, cut a small piece of cloth and put more on with the cloth, let it dry, then put on one more coat, sealed up for along time.

Someone already used some sort of sealant to plug it up once. Would it be a good Idea to take that and redo it?

You can try and seal right over it. I have had tanks last many years after sealing this way. Really depends on the shape of the rest of the tank though.

Well As far as I can tell, the rest looks ok. Ill give it a shot and see how it turns out.
