Hi Dar,

     I fixed the main water tank in my Westy with epoxy putty. 'twas a rather
nasty crack around the joint where the outflow joins the main tank --- sounds
sort of like
your problem. I just packed the crack and smoothed a layer on top of that. It
was almost
perfect after one application ---- duct tape made it perfect. Probably worth the
$6 or so
for a pack of putty ---- I *know* you already have duct tape. Besides, the duct
tape will be an
aesthetic match to the 'gray' water tank :-)

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Doug
