Waste tank gasket

[Cameron1]

There is a guy on another board talking about his air leak with his gasket which sits on top of the waste tank itself. What's your best fix for this problem, as we seem to have the same problem continuously ?

if there's a flat lip in the tank like mine (it's about 1" wide)
scrape the old stuff off, wire brush it for a CLEAN surface to start with, then run a 1/4 to 3/8 wide bead of RTV silicone.

let it set up til it's no longer tacky to touch (but not cured) takes about 30 to 50 minutes.
Then lay the tank lid on to flatten out any hi/low spots.

Remove the lid and let cure over night


..L.T.A.

I'm big on distributor's, but ya think I might be looking for something else there Mr. Snot, maybe something that will last.


Thanks Mr. Larry,,
that sounds like it will work just fine. I should have thought of that myself.

The guy on the other board was talking about the older Hydramaster tank lids. Which needs tank support brackets as the hm tanks were designed poorly for going through seals, as they flex and create lots of movement thus shredding the seal. It has been gone over before on here.
