Default Cannot stop bulkhead leaking!

Hi all,

I moved house last month so packed up the tank and moved it a few km's up the road. It was set up for a month and the bulkhead on the drain line was leaking. I tried to adjust it but to no avail.

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!
