I’ll continue to use it as well. I have 2 other tanks that were painted about 10 years ago and they are like new.

The problem was the gasket that leaked. It got hot and the gas must have expanded. Nevertheless, the gasket shouldnever have leaked. It was brand new. Was it old stock that was dried out? Did I not tighten the bolts enough? I dunno.

Next time I’ll add a sealer on both sides of the gasket when I tighten it down. Any suggestions on what material to use? It may contact the paint for sure…
