I recently pick up a RSM S-650 for a great price. Thing is it needs a few things to get it back to being an amazing tank. To me that's the fun of this hobby, so I jumped in with both feet. I am currently leak testing the tank and while there is nothing leaking... I noticed A LOT of silicone around the main drain "bulkhead" and I thought it was just a messy paint job. (since someone repainted the beautiful dark blue stand... white) The more I looked the more I saw and noticed it was ALL over where the bulkhead nut would be.
Now... I am in a tough spot. Do I replace the valve and main drain pipe with RS products and hope the bulkhead silicone job is good or do I replace it with a totally new bulkhead? I am already converting all lines from metric to imperial, so that doesn't worry me.
The only think holding me up is it looks like all 3 pipes are in one bulkhead piece. Can I just replace one or do I have to do all 3... hell is it even possible to do this?
Anyone with any information on this would be helping me out BIG TIME!
