Greetings all,
I'm on my second bulkhead (broke the first overtightening) for a tank I purchased used that is drilled through the bottom. I'm trying to rebuild the overflow that it had before but cannot get the bulkhead to stop leaking. There are no obvious cracks in the tank and I've gotten it as clean as I can, several times. The O-ring gasket in the bulkhead is just slightly smaller than the hole. What am I doing wrong? I'm not supposed to be using any sealant, right? 1.25-inch bulkhead/2-inch hole FWIW.
Thanks!!
