Last week our water alarm went off in the basement. Water was coming from our 16 year old 32 gallon pressure tank. We drained it and released the pressure in the house. I decided to use up the rest of the auto epoxy and fiberglass we had to repair the UTV. It was dry in 10 minutes and holding pressure. So we applied faux cork and then a truck strap to hold the patch. It worked for three days when the plumber could come out.
After he removed the tank we found a 2nd pin hole under the strap. The tank was rusted from the inside and needed to be replaced. But the auto epoxy with hardener and fiberglass worked. It smelled and we had to open windows until the smell left. But we were able to use the tank till it could be replaced.
