It probably is possible to seal it up.

Most suppliers buy from Wydale tanks. Their number is 01460 73212

Give them a call and I am sure they will help you.

I`ve had wyvale tanks before and they leak like mad to the point that my van was soaked even at the front,they sent me different O rings and other things to stop it and nothing worked.Get a custom tank they will not leak unlike the tanks your on about that are not designed to have water sloshing around them in the back of a van.

You can repair a lot of plastics with a soldering iron.

I have never repaired a tank but i have a water barrel same plastic just rub a hot soldering iron over where its leaking and with gentle rubbing motion over the area until nice and smooth and leak free.
