Hi All it looks like our old cold water tank is leaking in the loft. I have got a drip tray under it and will be investigating further, but there is at least a possibility that a new tank will be needed.
To give an idea of the vintage etc. the houss is around 1950s I think, and the old tank seems to be at least partially made of zinc-covered sheet construction, with some soft of compressed straw boards for insulation.
I will be measuring up the old tank properly but I'm guessing it's
50 gallon, maybe a little bigger.Is there anything I should particularly need to know when considering replacing this myself? I am hoping to be able to not modify any of the piping, and to cut holes in the new tank to match the old. Am I being delusional?
Thanks Jon N
