So I removed a couple of screws at the front from the very thick and ridgid plastic sheeting. I got my little flashlight all ready and got in a good position to stick my head up in there to try and look for a problem. Of course there was an ocean of nasty that came flowing out as soon as I pulled the bottom down a bit. I managed to not get a face full but got soaked. Lesson learned. So I took a lot more screws out so I could drop one full side of the bottom and got a clear view of the leak. I'm wondering what the group recommendations would be for a patch. Online I seem to only find stories from unsucesfull attemps to stop leaks.
I have used Plasti-mend on two tanks. Follow the instructions and make sure the tank is dry. I used a shop vac blowing in the drain. There is a short working time with plastic mend (5-8 min.) Use disposable brushes. Three coats is recomend. My repair was 4 yrs ago, no leaks yet.
