I bought a camec water tank the other day...

it basically has 2 spouts with little barbs on them for a 12mm hose (1 x water, 1 x breather) and a much fatter spout for the filler.

the 12mm hose slides onto the spouts (with a bit of effort) and i put one of the little plastic cable clamp things on it.... these ones seemed to seal ok but the bigger fill pipe leaks.

will thread tape be any use at all? i doubt it.... what's the secret to sealing these connections?

my second question - i would like to fit a tap on the breather to prevent water syphoning out when the vehicle is on extreme angles.... my plan is to just open the breather when using the tank. will this result in the tank exploding due to a build up of pressure when the tap is closed?

any advice appreciated.

cheers,

KG
