I cut off the plumbing, drove all the way to J&L and bought a new bulkhead, dried everything off and screwed it in place......it leaked. Drained the overflow again, added a second gasket on the outside of the bulkhead and it leaked even more.
What's the secret to these bloody things. I don't seem to be able to do anything to stop them leaking. I have already lost my lemon peel angel trying to get this up and running, and I don't want to lose any more.
HELP!

Hi Duncan: When my tank was drilled the inner edges were chipped a little and I was concerned, I gave BRS a call and explained the situation to them. They told me to put a bead of silicone around the rubber gasket to take up the voids in the chips and I did that I filled the overflow box with water after letting the silicone set for 24 hours everything is tight an not leaking, maybe try that, good luck. Also they said don't over tighten on the nut.
