I am camping in the Yukon and need some advice. The two low drain brass valves on the fresh water tank are leaking. It started when I had a full fresh water tank and hooked up to city water. After disconnecting from city water the leak stopped. I checked to make sure the the fittings were tight. I noticed that the water was seaping/leaking from the tank where the brass valves enter the tank. After continuing our journey, I tried hooking up to city water again and the leak started again. After disconnecting from city water the leak continues. I am in the process of draining the tank. This started as a seap of of 3-4 drips a minute. It now is just less then a steady stream leak.
My plan is to drain, dry the fittings, check fitting tightness, then apply JB weld. I also have Rectorseal EP -200 Epoxy putty, that hardens in 15-20 minutes and has a good rep for marine applications.
Any ideas, help is greatly appreciated.
