Fiamma 70ltr freshwater tank

Getting a very slight leak from the big screw down cap. So, if the weather's dry, I've got to remove the mattress and under bed drop-in shelving, and try to sort it.

Few runs of PTFE Tape might do the trick?

Yes that's what I was thinking and perhaps a layer of vaseline on the seal might help?

Had a close look and its not the main cap, it's the glands where the pipe and cable go through to the submersible pump.

Lowered the overflow/breather to take pressure off the glands (only leaked when tank was full) and re-sealed them - fingers crossed.

I originally fitted my breather pipe on without a clamp but it leaked under pressure when the tank was full. A pipe clamp sorted it. I had already clamped the filler pipe.
