Hello All
My OH's cold water tank has been ever so slightly leaking and I managed to locate the leak...it's a drip coming from where the feeder 22mm compression connector goes through the tank wall.
I've been up and down 4 times now..cleaned everything and replaced the rubber washers..new ones inside and outside. Tightened it hard but it's still got a drip happening from between the tank wall and connector flange.
Baffled.
I haven't used any sealant on the compression connector/tank yet...(cleaned off the old stuff which I guess only made the leak worse!).
Was thinking of using some caravan window sealant that stays sticky forever...but thought I'd ask here first.
What's the best sealant to apply?..that I can easily get hold of...and do I just lather it on?
Thanks in advance.
Neill
