It is not simply high or low density—the tank was made from LLDPE and rods must
be the same material.

The tank was made from LLDPE. Make sure your weld rods are the exact same
material!

My water tank is leaking again. I want to attempt a weld to repair it.
It is a Kracor polypropylene tank, but the labeling details have faded over
time, and no longer legible. I don't know what kind of polypropylene was used
to construct the tank.
So, the question is, do I use hi-density OR lo

My Plastimo tank failed in the first year. Fitting at the inlet cracked open.
They did replace it under warranty and so far so good one year later.___

For some reason, flex tanks don't have a strong following. However, in

Harry, Kracor is a brand and they are molded LLDPE plastic. Welded tanks are
made differently and they are either LDPE or HDPE. Molded tanks are generally
higher quality than welded tanks.

Custom Marine Plastic in Bristol, RI has welded Kracor tanks for me, so it is a
successful method. Also consider drilling it out and replacing it with a
modified Marelon thru hull.

One of my water tanks continues to leak and it appears to be where the barbed
elbow fitting exits the tank . I've wrapped the threads with Teflon tape [both
pink and white], but it fails to make a good seal. This is my 3rd attempt to
fix it.
The tank is a Kracor brand, and the tank's walls an

The original tanks can be weld repaired using LLDPE rods. Any plastic welder

Hello Listers,
My starboard water tank has sprung a leak.
The tank was made by Kracor, and it appears the leak is coming from the elbow
joint.
Any 30-II owners have/had this problem?
How difficult is removing the tank?? It doesn't appear to be too difficult,
but I'd be most interested to h
