Step 1

              

               Drain Tank and allow it to dry inside

  Step 2

               Pass an electric soldering iron or similar hot

                instrument lightly over the hole working molten                 

               plastic into the hole.

  Step 3     

               Allow patch to cool and test the tank with  

               water.  If the tank still leaks, allow it to dry

                again and REPEAT STEP 2.   

  Step 4    For larger holes use a strip of polyethylene

                repair plastic as shown. Carefully  heat the tank

               at the point to be repaired with a propane torch

               on low heat.Do not melt the plastic as melted

                plastic loses its physical properties.  The two

                materials should be slightly tacky.

              

               Extreme caution must be used to avoid  

               overheating     

   Stress Cracks

                    Stress cracks are commonly cause by an

                     improper tank installation and/or overfilling              

                    the tank.  This is typical of tanks that are           

                    over 20” that have not been fully supported.

                    

                    To repair a stress crack, drill a small hole at

                    each end of the crack and continue heating

                     plastic together along the crack. Overlap

                     Each end 1” if possible.

                    Major repairs can be done at the Inca             

                    Factory .
