The problem I encountered was the same as yours. I would need to wait to have my home heating oil tank replaced before it would stick to the bottom. In terms of actual "sealing," it seems that the material is too high in volume. With a bungee cord around the tank, I would be able to secure it in place.
I will share my story with you. In the middle of a 250 gallon oil tank 3/4 full, I had a leak which was dripping slowly. I removed the residue from the bottom of the tank lying on my back. It became a stream when the drip became a trickle. The thought I had was, "good god.". When I remembered I had a magna patch in my right hand, I placed it over the leak. For approximately a month, it was on the tank until I had the opportunity to drain it and replace it. Besides saving me a ridiculous headache, it also saved me some time. It worked well on a static tank. I don't know if it will hold for ever.
There is an outdoor tank in my yard. I have a large collection of fish in my tank, so I had to take the elements into account. There is a 275 gallon heating oil tank in my home. As a driver for an oil delivery service, I obviously purchase from my A slow fill marker has been placed on my house. There has never been an issue with it for me. When I used to fill that tank with gas, it was I plan to weld it after the first three loads of oil have been passed through It was time to replace my old gas tank with a new 330-gallon one. This is a result of the ethanol eating up the metal. The state of gasoline today is like that of The fungus feeds on paint and won't coat like kerosene or heating oil. Even if there is a lot of moisture on the top of the magnet, the rubber seal will ensure a good seal. My recommendation would be to replace the tank if it has a larger hole than a pinhole. In case of small holes, this product is only meant as a temporary solution. Painting a tank and draining all the water off the bottom plug is part of taking care of it. A heavy liquid sits on top of a lighter liquid, so fuel lies on In the same way, that applies to gasoline or I know tanks are not inexpensive. I wish you the best of luck. You can find a replacement tank on eBay if you need one. There are a lot of used ones where people switched to natural gas and wanted to get rid of their old tank. What I did to get mine at a great price.

This thing would be handy if you were buying a house or if your kid was buying a house this is a 20 dollar insurance policy that every homeowner should possess. An oil company agent called a buddy of mine one morning after he awoke to the smell of diesel fumes in his house. At the same time, he was collecting the stream of fuel pouring from the leak in his oil tank with 5 gallon buckets. When the oil company's repairman came by to fix the leak, he put one of these on the outside of the tank. The leak was stopped immediately. He offered to save the oil in the tank from having to be discarded by installing it not only to stop the leak, but also to save on disposal costs If you look at it as 3 dollars a gallon for the fuel that was leaking out at a rate of 5 gallons per hour, the cost would come to about $26,000 per day. I would have gotten more than my money's worth from this thing Use one fold at a time. It's just a great design and it may not turn off your leak entirely but if you need to use it any time soon, it will help buy you a few hours before the repair guys arrive and it may save you a lot of fuel.
As soon as I located the hole in the magnetic patch, I cleaned the area in order to ensure that it would adhere to a clean surface. In order to make sure the magnets had an adequate grip on the tank's surface, I placed the foam around the hole and gently pressed. Hopefully there will be more news later, but so far there has not been one.
When you cannot trust a product of this nature, why should you take the risk? While I read some of the reviews for this product, I did not pay attention to the actual design. The premise of the product is great, but the actual result is subpar. After this item arrived, I quickly came up with a homemade solution using a similar principle and went to Home Depot. This is a cheaper and better alternative (as well as more efficient. ) However, the product does not attach strongly enough to compress the rubber foam seal, in spite of attaching to the metallic surface of the tank. It is necessary to assist the magnets and press the seal against the surface of the tank in order for it to "clamp. ". Again, the magnet fails at this point due to the rubber expanding as well as moving the magnet off of the tank's surface. A more powerful rare earth magnet would be better suited for the product. A product like this is not one which I would trust to protect the environment and prevent a potential leaky oil tank issue temporarily.
I find this to be very useful. It sticks out more than side magnets that are attached to rubber. Get it lined up, then get it going. In this way, the rubber gets stuck to the hole and gets compressed. There was no pop off like other reviews stated. The magnets were strong enough to hold it in place.
It may be a little difficult to use, but once it is positioned correctly, this device will prevent an oil leak from forming in a home heating oil tank until it can be replaced. There is a downside to oil getting on foam seal and magnet since it takes away from the adhesive and leaves the foam disconnected from the magnet making it difficult to use. All in all, this has proven to be.
The reviews I read said it doesn't work, so I should have gone with my gut instinct when I read them. As opposed to the random few who said it did, I took their word. They must have used some sort of trick to get it to work because the product is trash. Except in the places where I have the oil leak, it would lie flat on every other spot. and then flip over on its side. * I was not sure how well it would work in practice but I was not sure how others would feel about.
I like it.
Next, take sand paper and clean the area 3 inches around the area that allows the mag to The area needs to be cleaned. A mag must be applied parallel to the belly if it is to be effective.
