Cracked bulkhead

[Alotls]

Small leak in bulkhead so I went to tighten it and it cracked on the top. Will flex seal glue hold me over ? It’s not leaking but I can’t imagine this will last long time. I’ve ordered a new bulkhead.

I think you should be ok until the new bulkhead arrives - as the split is on top.

If you have a Lowes or HD near you, get some JB Waterweld epoxy.

use a toothpick to pack a little bit of tissue down onto the crack to cover the exposed threads, then use the same toothpick to dollop a little Waterweld on top of the tissue. You'll only need a pea-sized dollop; it's strong stuff.

Be very careful. DO NOT get any of the epoxy on the threads or the wall (can't tell if it's a tank wall or overflow box wall) ... otherwise you will have a bi*** of a time trying to get the nut off when you replace the bulkhead.

Understood I’m on it. It’s the over flow box itself not the tank tank
