A question....will this vacuum tank work if the fitting-plug-on top of the tank is loose in the hole...does it need to be air-tight to work?
thanks, mark b

Mark,

I would have to say, that yes, it would have to be air tight, or it would suck in air and you would lose the vacuum. Others with more information Im sure will respond, but you have posted in the wrong forum. Repost in the technical forum for better responses.Good Luck.

A tank that leaks is the same as no tank, except the symptoms are more annoying! Is the leak around the threads of the fitting? Or is the leak elsewhere. I am asking so I can recommend an appropriate fix. If its threads, use pipe thread compound from a plumbing house or Home Depot. Solder or braze (brass weld) a crack in the tank.
