XP310 cracked tube spraying water

Post by Hyper » Tue Jul 28, 2009 2:32 pm

Click for image

I got me a 2nd hand XP 310 which is leaking from a tiny crack in the tube to the pressure indicator. Click above link for a photo. The crack is located between the two tubes so it is hardly reachable. Also, the crack is very tiny, small streams of water spray from it. It is most likely not possible to fill the crack with glue for this reason.

Any chance to get this repaired? Suggestions are welcome. Can this be repaired with some kind of tape? The cracked tube is filled with water under pressure when pumped.


ps. I also posted this at SSCentral.

I would paint it with epoxy. That always works on tiny cracks for me.
