Wade,
There are a number of articles in the maintenance manual (available to
Association members) and an article on the website
(https://alberg30.org/maintenance/Plumbing/WatertankRepair/). A quick
synopsis:
- The rivets holding the top of the tank leak when the sealant under
the top starts to go. Use self-tapping screws, instead.
- Aluminum corrodes. Either seal the underside of the tank top with
epoxy, or replace it with a material that doesn't corrode.
- Check for cracks in the bulkhead forming the aft end of the tank.
