hi there Hope you are all well. I have a leaking bottom outlet on oil tank, it is dripping at the connection for the stop valve. Unfortunately just filled tank with 2500 of oil, is there any temp repair I can do until tank is empty to enable a permanent repair.
Regards bob
 
Nope. Speak to oil supplier. For a fee they will pump out whilst repaired and pump back. Take measures to conrain leak before it becomes notifiable to environmental protection.
 
Thanks for that. I was hoping there might have been a temp fix until oil runs out
Kind regards bob

I'm trying to remove the zone valve ion vented tank and the tank started leaking around the joint. I was hoping to just run the tank with immersion till I can get an unvented. Any tips to stop leaks or do you think I need to buy temporary tank. Any help appreciated as I'm without hot water now.
