Default Repairing a leaky surge tank
It appears the joint connecting the pipe on the bottom of my surge tank is leaking. Is this just a simple job of running solder over the joint to seal it up, or is it more complex due to the pressure involved? It's not a very big leak, but it does dribble out through what appears to be a pin hole in the joint weld. I believe the tank is made of brass and is painted black. I've stripped away the black paint around the joint. Appreciate any advice and tips!
Thanks!
Scott
