Sealing leaks in a concrete water tank.

A video showing how we sealed two leaks in a 22,500 litre concrete water tank using VersEseal rubber sealing compound with geofabric.

Thank you for you comment.
Hi John! I want to thank you from the bottom of my soul for providing this temporary fix. It worked like a charm on my 2012 Hyundai Elantra until I get the actual part. I put in a new battery not that long ago and you saved my battery from possibly draining. I surely don't have the money for another battery. THANK YOU!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Greetings from Canada. Your video saved me what probably would have been a small fortune if I had taken my car to a shop. I popped out the magnet from a fridge magnet (with the sticky gum attached) and used it. I had to be quite the contortionist to install it though! Magnet worked like a charm. I also replaced all my tail light bulbs. A few were not working well, so I figured what the heck and pulled them all. System is working like a dream now.
Love the magnet idea... Really pleased that it helped you. All the best.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.

Bloody straylians. Seriously though very helpful man.

Hi John, thank you for posting this video. What was happening to my mini-van was exactly as you described and I was able to use a furniture pad and it worked for me. Thank you for posting this!
I am happy to hear that it worked. When I made this video I thought that it might get a few hundred views but it appears that the problem with the nylon plug is very common. I appreciate your kind words.
I was struggling fol almost 30 min how to put this back you saved me Thanks
Happy to help, thanks for the kind comment.
Technically you’re not supposed to pre fill fuel filters. Screw the canister back on, take out the bleed screw on top of the housing and the primer will do the rest
I am happy to be mistaken but I do not recall saying anything about pre-filling the fuel filter housing. I thought that I was quite clear about priming the fuel system before attempting to start the engine.
@@johnvienta7622the part about draining into a clean container to re use. Im assuming now you meant pouring it back into the tank? That’d be fair enough. I misinterpreted that
@@jakob31448 . No problem at all, I got a fright thinking that I had given incorrect information. Yes, I recall saying that if the fuel was clean it could be used again.. Thanks for your comment.
I can’t get mine to work I got the little plugger thing wrapped it with duct tape and a piece of paper and my lights still stay on
.... It could be the brake light sensor itself. No expert on those things but try pushing the plunger rod in with your finger while someone looks at the brake lights. If they do not go off that is where I would be looking.
@@johnvienta7622 thank you
i put the new pad in and i didnt get it to go in all the way, will this affect my brakes function if it doesnt release all the way?
Do you mean that you tried to get it to fit inside the small hole where the nylon insert was? If you place the adhesive pad on the metal and cover the hole it should be fine. The object is to activate the retractable pin at the end of sensor.
Why is the Hole even in the petal ?
Excellent question. Unfortunately I do not have an excellent answer.
What's the diameter of the gear stick rod? I bought a replacement and the hole and adapters were too small. I'm looking for one that will fit but don't know what size it needs to be.
Aren’t there 4 more plugs?

Did it work? Need my leaking cracked tank repaired. Is it a losing battle or worth the effort? Thanks
It did not stop the leak completely but did have an effect as previously it was actually spraying out. I spoke to the people who make it and they said that another coat may be required but it has not been empty since so we have not had the opportunity. I would probably go heavier along the actual crack if I did it again.
Thanks for that. Have been tossing around a few ways to go. Getting a liner installed or even dropping a poly tank inside as I have just a tin roof cover. Still not sure what to do. Would be frustrating to clean it out and patch up and still have leaks. Thanks for posting. You cleaned up your tank really well before the seal. Not an easy task
@@tonyfletcher1718.. I looked at liners but was worried that the concrete tank may be unsound. My issue was that one section was a bad pour (about 28 years ago) and could fail and that is one of the things they discuss re inner linings. The concrete tank is pretty well a spare as we also have a poly tank but I prefer the water from the concrete. I have been told that concrete tanks can become unsafe when they are empty for a long time and have heard of them collapsing, so ask an expert re the idea of dropping the poly inside, although as you said you have a metal top. All the best.
Thanks again John, you have been a great help. I may have a go doing what you did. My tank has about 200mmof water and mud in the bottom so I'll have to bale that I suppose. I was amazed how clean and dry you got the bottom of your tank. I'll need to clean mine to get the full picture. I have about 3 vertical cracks and 1 horizontal. They all just weeped or dripped with moss on the outside. I realised the tank was empty when I saw the moss was dead. Its been leaking for over 10 years but never emptied before but with the current lack of rain in West Gippsland it wasn't getting any topups. Thanks again for posting your video
@@tonyfletcher1718.. Believe me mate, there was a lot of work involved in getting the sludge out before the video was done. We scooped a lot out and then used a little transfer pump with a hose running out through the bung at the bottom, then mopped up the rest.
6 years and 2 days later your video has helped me with this, I was at the point of removing the whole assembly/getting a mechanic to do it as I was about to douse the car and light it. I'll be doing this instead, thank you, good sir!
I know the feeling..... Thanks for the comment and all the best to you.
@@johnvienta7622 I wanted to revisit this as I just completed the job as I got the things today, not exactly the same but same same but different. Holy shit SO much easier than what I was trying to do!, start the car, jam the pedal clean with iso alcohol install and done.. took me longer to get my fat ass on the floor and back up than do the fix. Kudos to you good Sir and I raise this drink to you!.

Update: you can't heat with a gas torch to shine it up. Once sanded it stays a sanded finish. I also can't be bothered right now buying mastic glue and affixing the cap. Maybe later so I will keep it and see.. Cheers
Today 28 January 2024 2012 Barina TM Manual Trans. Gear nob replace/remove Mine was falling apart below the gear selector indicator. I tried the vice grip but it just yielded on the already crumbling outer part of the knob. So I decided to removed the rest of it and alter my goal, as this is where I figured I don't need a gear nob, as follows.. 1. Removed the gear selector indicator (top) as it is only glued and came off easily, as the already crumbling part holding it sort of in place, gone. Keep this and separate, with force, the base from the actual gear selector indicator (in 'resin' with picture backing) destroy the backing but not the selector picture. 2. Remove the rest of the crappy crumbling gear knob with an old demo chisel and hammer. This leaves the actual base gear knob that the outer plastic is injection moulded onto (I believe). 3. With a grinder and simple metal cut off disc amd skilfully use the flat part of the disc to remove the harsh edge lip around the top of the knob and other hashness and to shape the knob to ur liking. 4. Electric/hand sand the nob to finish any harsh bits the grinder can't get and finish smooth generally. Sand flat the rope of the nob.. NOTE: this is where I figured I would use a flame of some sort to smooth out the sanded plastic. I don't have one so I'm at the hardware shop now getting one that will, hopefully, lead to a nice finish of the knob. I've seen plastic in videos treated like this to restore a shine to a dull plastic finish so let's see.. 5. (To be done) use a lighter or high pressure lighter flame to melt slightly the plastic after sanding. I think a high power cigarette lighter should do but maybee more. 6. Glue the gear selector cap onto the nob with a mastic, I think this would be beneficial as the cap is slightly larger than nob. Remember, the outer plastic has been roved and the selector cap separated, so it's not all the same size. Or just leave the selector cap off if you know where the gears are, or make your own. I hope this helps. Cheers
Where are you that it is already the 28th??? That is an impressive bit of work, and I especially enjoyed the skillful work involved in removing the rough surface.

Got 1 of those decomposing knobs. I was wondering if there was a trick to removing it.
I have two videos about that job so hopefully it works for you. It appears from the comments that some of the vehicles have a slightly different set-up.
I've been bending it back every so often, but Im thinking of welding some thicker metal to reinforce as its not a long term solution for me.
Good idea as there seems to be a big difference in the quality of the metal used for the flaps on different brands.
Blablablablablabla
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment.
Did you just squeeze the sides of the glove box to remove it ?
I looked that the first video I did about this filter ( Location/removal ) and unfortunately I did not cover the removal of the clove box itself however I seem to recall that it had a damper rod on the side, and when they was unclipped the glovebox just dropped down and pulled away from the pivot points. You may have a different type but I have found (from other vehicles) that squeezing from the middle of the softer plastic at the back part, pulls the sides in and allows it to drop down. It was a friends vehicle and I do not have access to it at the moment.
Thanks mate really helpful
Tricky little thing isn't it.
Just did this and fixed my daughter’s car - thanks so much for your help
I am pleased that it helped you, and your daughter. Tell her that it was your idea for bonus points. All the best.
The old, 'mini' I use to have had the handle held on with a Philips screw, the olden days were good LOL
Much less chance of a screw taking your eye out.
I purchased a new flap and spring and mine is still falling off. Any ideas?
Sorry, I am at a bit of a loss to suggest anything.... Is the catcher itself hitting the ground as you mow.
My 1997 corolla has a plastic stepped washer behind the handle which hides the circlip out of sight,your handle in the video doesnt have one? Also, i always get inside the car & close the door to prevent losing the clip. I use a torch/light & a magnet in my hand to help find the clip as it will be somewhere inside the car. Look under the front seats as thats a common place where they hide!!! 😊😊
Those are some top ideas, especially the one about closing the door. I know that there are numerous tricks to get the clip off and on, and I nearly laughed my socks off when a mechanic called it a Jesus clip. I am assuming that you are not Crompton the racing driver.
@@johnvienta7622 no i'm not,but ppl on fb think i am even though theres a statement on my fb that says i'm not.
Some ppl call them "shit" clips too,i used to work in the automotive trade & would regularly yell shiiiiit when the clip flies off 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've also seen a video on ut that shows you how to remove the handle circlip using a wire garbage bag tie & another using a clean rag or a sock,they both work amazingly well too 😉

Just chucked a can into my toyota allex hatchback 2001, 1.5 litre automatic. Can't wait to calculate the fuel econ on it soon. i bought the car bout 7 years ago, its about 20 odd years of age, well maintained and looked after. For years i've lived with the rough idle, it felt more like a diesel than a petrol car. Never have I put fuel cleaner/system cleaner additives in it. Did some research on fuel additives being good for older vehicles, I was tied between Nulon or Penrite... I added penrite fuel cleaner for the honda, in the past though didn't feel like much changed, agreed with the mixed reviews. I went to supercheap, yesterday they didn't have the fuel system cleaner I wanted for those brands, out of sheer luck Liqui Moly fuel cleaner and conditioner was on the shelf, took a look at it, there where two bottles left, i grabbed them both. Went over to the petrol station added it it before fueling. Already I started to notice significantly huge difference for the Toyota, runs lot better in everyway. More enjoyable to drive tbh. Gonna chuck some in the honda n retop up the toyota next week. This stuff changed my perception on fuel / total system cleaners, I thought it was unnecessary snake oil stuff. As these additives are supposed be already in our petrol. I doubt that much.
I was certainly impressed by it. From what I have read they add detergents to fuel and I doubt that they would put in anything that improved fuel economy as that is not in their interests. Re the rough idle you might like to check/clean the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, using the spray designed for that job. Thanks for your comment.

A good video however you must clamp top fuel line from fuel tank before you begin. Otherwise fuel keeps siphoning from tank.
Thanks, however we had no trouble at all with fuel being delivered from the tank as the fuse had been removed and the pump was inactive. I did have someone comment several years ago that they had diesel flowing however I believe that they kept the ignition on and that caused the issue...... Clamping the fuel line is certainly a good additional measure.
No keys in ignition. If I hadn’t clamped the top fuel line the whole tank would have drained. I thank you for your video, it was a big help. Just letting you know what happened with mine and may happen to others.
Thanks for that...... bit of a mystery why some vehicles continue to draw the fuel towards the filter and others do not.@@rogerajohn8193
