Hi Guys

I seem to have sprung a small leak in the expansion tank next to the demand pump on my blazer.

Could this be welded or does it have a "Bladder" inside?

Cheers!

Justin

I would replace it but not from prochem. These accumulators are used in all sorts of applications. I think I found mine on ebay, only difference was it was orange.

Its only a hair line crack, sure it could be welded?

[Len Gribble]

You could try cold welding or buy a replacement as wynne recommends. A good plumber’s merchant will point you in the right direction

Its a few years ago but it was only £25. Weld it and it may be fine.

Mig or arc won’t work braising may be

Theres a rubber baloon inside, welding will just cattle that.

What is it actually called, IE what would I search for on ebay?

Thanks guys!

Being a southerner what cattle that??? Where’s Steve Gunn when you need him

It may be called vessel 

[Nick Attwood]

Expansion Tank or Vessel should give you a good start!

Vessel may be better though http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=expansion+vessel&_frs=1

Dumb question, but what size would I look for?

[John Kelly]

Just for you Len, F**** it. Gunny wouldn't know anyway he's from a strange land.

I just built one for a install quite cheap thanks to my neighbours at Plumb Centre.
