I lost the tear down pics so i have no images of how it came apart.
Can someone help me with the way to seal the outlet / return pipe that screw onto the bottom of the tank. I have aluminium washers and fibre washers. I've tried with both, the fibres leak badly. They were squashed between the tank and the round collar fixed to the small steel pipe tail. I've tried using just an aluminium washer in the same position as above but still a slight leak. As the retaining nuts are a soft alloy i can't tighten them anymore. Just in case i do ruin them trying to seal them, does anyone know the correct thread size of the outlets on the tank? |
