[VAC] Black Water Tank Repaired



If you recall, two weeks ago I posted a request for information on a 
replacement Black Water Tank for my 70 Caravel.  Well the search did not 
go well and the expense of replacement was not satisfactory.  So I fixed 
it myself.  I sealed the cracks with a marine grade putty then encased 
the entire tank in fiberglass and epoxy.  It has been full of water for 
a week now with no leaks.  I even kicked it around a few times to ensure 
its durability.   Lets hope it holds.  Those of you who wish to do the 
same I will keep posted if it cracks or leaks again.  This was 
definitely the least expensive way to go.
