Richard Moore Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hmmm, a BB size hole in anything in Georgia? Occam's razor would suggest some southern boy shot the damn thing with a BB gun. But...probably just a small impurity in the sheet metal of that particular tank caused the pinhole leak. Or maybe they didn't flush the lines before installing it and some reactive debris came to rest at that spot of the innards. Whatever, it's gawn bad.

John Kogel Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 My mail order plastic BB machine gun would have riddled that tank like swiss cheese, not. Air in pressure tank, raw steel always wet, a Niel Young song, Tom (and I) had the cassette. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Maxwell Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I had one like that about a year ago. Unfortunately it was on a vacant town house and it ruined a bunch of wood flooring and drywall below it. The inspection was postponed for three weeks due to the repairing/replacing and general drying out of the place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
