Vile, I LMAO! That's funny stuff right there.

Hey Top, thanks. That's basically what I did but I don't think it was "JB Weld". It was something like it though. That was a fun day! The tank was half full and I broke one of the straps in the process. I had to fabricate a bracket for the strap.

Oh lol ha. I think they leak bc the cardboard material thats between the bracket and the tank wears off and then its just metal to metal

There was actually rust up in there( I thought the tanks were galvanized) that I guess ate all the way through and created 3 pinholes. The cardboard was still intact.
