No offence, just my experience.
Or like JB weld to stop a leak around a fitting.
Just fix it right by sweat soldering the hole or bung in the first place.


Luck!



Hi George,


I'm not trying to "fixit up", but to do it right. I plan to remove as much of the rust as I can mechanically/chemically/electrically , but given that I live in North Carolina, if I am successful at removing the rust that's there without some sort of coating immediately following it's going to rust again right away.

I *could * get by "fixit up" by just letting it continue to rust and depend on sediment filters and screens to get rid of the continual rust, but I hoped to do better than that, not to take the slack route. You're saying I shouldn't worry about rust in the tank after I knock the big chunks off mechanically?


This is a tank for a 123/K301
