It's a fairly snug fit I thought as both ends of the hose are done up with clamps. When I fill it up it some comes out the bottom of the hose from between the hose and the steel tube welded to the top. I also went round the top of the steel tube with the welder to create a sort of raised section. Any suggestions as to how I can stop it leaking when filling up? |
you must make sure that the faces where the pressure of the clamp is going to bear down on are very smooth, no rough bits etc - also if youve welded a lip to the top of the pipe it might have a rough bit thats nicking the hose as you push it over - perhaps
