Oil leaking from tank - help!

Yes we've got lots of TS HD oil tanks in stock!

If you spray it good and clean with break cleaner. Give it a few minutes and if it's cracked a black line will appear. Also look where the tabs mount.

The tanks are very weak and a failure would be a very expensive mistake.
 
Hi guys. I found my leak fortunately. I pulled the side/bottom pan and cleaned the bottom of the tank with brake cleaner really well and watched for a leak - nothing. Let the sled run for about 4-5 minutes till the oil tank got hot to the touch and waited. Then... drip... drip... Got under it and ran my finger along the bottom of the tank - nothing. Ran in along the joint between the elbow and tank and there it was. I checked the bolts and was able to tighten them a bit more, maybe a 1/2 turn each and it may be my imagination but it looked to close a bit. Cleaned it up good and I'm going to check it again in a bit for more drips. If there is I'm going to drain the tank, pull the elbow, replace the o-ring and that should solve it.

Thanks for the help though, it was good to find out about the problems with the tank and know what to look for if I get another leak somewhere else down the road.
