The tank had an extra port that was just sealed off with a bolt so we put a fitting in :)


Which bbs are you sealing up?

Either way get 100% silicone (think bathroom sealant) and use a caulk gun and lay down a nice bead of it around the mating surfaces.

If they are RS's you will lay it on the mating surfaces where the bolts go between the face and the lip. And more on the bottom side I believe. Just wipe off any that squeezes out when you torque the bolts.

Hers were fine last year, no leaks at all. This year I was in a hurry putting them together because there was a show coming up and they need to sit for 24 hours to seal and I ended up missing some spots. All good now though.

Here is the thread I used as a guide the first time I did it.
