Default Black Water Leak / Fridge Dead on Propane - Questions

She's giving me some trouble after a year of ownership. The black water tank is leaking right at the connection from the bottom of the tank to the drain lines.

The crack looks small, is this something that can be patched from the exterior with mesh if within a certain size or tolerance or is that a no go on RV's? The only alternative I can see is replacing lots of items which I do not want to open up.

Secondly, the fridge wont work on propane. I thought it was due to high winds at the campsite but its not. The burner area looks clean. Unsure of the next step on this after cleaning and checking spark to the igniter.

More info on the fridge issue is needed. Does it try to light or not at all. Does it run for awhile then quits? Have you checked the thermocouple or igniter/flame rod for carbon buildup. Is propane even making it to the gas valve on the fridge?

Could be a lot of things. Do you have the manual? It has a trouble shooting guide.

Fixing the black water tank leak from the exterior should be an easy fix. Just a small crack can be filled by an application of ABS glue to fill the crack...maybe several applications. Or there are epoxy glues that work too.

I had a crack in the black tank of my 2003 T-139 -- fixed it with JB Weld two-part epoxy. Make sure the area to be patched is dry and clean.

Never had any luck with flex seal, personally I would not waste my money on it. Tried it on a few applications. Silverado

Thanks.

Nice to know it's mostly advertising hype.

Won't waste my money on any then.
