I have a 250l plastic water tank that is showing early signs of the start of a potential crack . It's not split yet but looks like it might .next week.next month .next year.
Any tips on how to prevent this getting worse. It s 100mm long and is where bracket holds tank to frame.
I've padded out frame to protect it .
Any ideas on proper repair??
