    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Tank Leak Mystery

While finishing my tank, I noticed some weird bulging in the paint on the knee dents. The tank is full of vinegar for de rusting.

Worried that these were tiny leaks sepping into the bondo and pushing up the paint, I stripped it back to bare metal and sprayed foot powder to hunt leaks. Nothing showed.

What else might push a reverse dimples in the paint? If there is a micro leak, would a POR liner help ?
 
Are you allowing the tank to vent while the acid is cooking inside the tank. Pressure build up inside will cause the tank to pooch out if it's not vented (yes, I know from experience).
 
I have an old cap on there. Miight cause a vent issue. Thanks.
 
If you suspect some type of micro-leak, Caswell Coating would probably do a good job for coating the tank. It's really thick.
