Has anyone repaired a waste/black-water holding tank and if so, how did you do it? We have a 1973 Skyline Golden Falcon and the holding tank has a massive crack at the neck where it exits (discharge). Would high-density polyethylene welding rod work, or low-density? I read some of the other posts and didn't see any mention of this is a possible solution. Thanks greatly. Read more: vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/conversation/1708#ixzz3rDvWeoUe |

New tank. Any repair will only be temporary. These things take quite a beating when the trailer is bouncing and dancing down the road. Any repair will eventually give way. I've tried repairing holding tanks only to have to do it right just a bit down the road.

I've got a '94 Winnebago Warrior on a Chevy chasis and just found an 8" gash in the black water holding tank. Its a horizontal gash on the side of the tank, and the area is virtually inaccessible! I can't imagine how they managed that, but anyways... I called Winnie and as most of you probably know, I'd need to take out a mortgage to get that tank replaced, not to mention the time frame involved. The best solution I've come across so far is plastic welding. It would work, but its time consuming and might involve having to take the tank down and possibly crate/ship it to the welder. I came across a repair kit by Versachem, it's called the "Holding Tank Repair Kit" and the guy who sells it says he's used it a number of times without a hitch. You can get your vehicle repaired at www.colorrecon.com/. |
