[M.K Cleaners.co.uk]

Theres a small drip, Ive tried putting the tape round the first time, its just slowed it down a bit. What can I do now? Just keep putting more tape on it?

the best thing it to wrap that white ptfe tape round the tread 6-8 times then tighten it all should be fine

Where you screw it in to the tank. Theres a small drip.

The tanks nearly empty and now the leek has stopped?

Could be the pressure of the weight of the water that could be causing it to leak. More tape should sort that

Is that the valve which is factor fitted if so it should not leek but if it does on the inside it should be fitted with a washer add silcone to that the the outside put ptfe on it if it does not have a washer and also silcone leave for 24 hours it will never leak again

I just put more ptf tape on and silicone round the outside. Will this be dry for tomorrow?

Silicone will be dry in an hour or two so be fine

I use boss supergreen mostly with any of the compression fittings. All my plumbing in the van has been done in 15mm plastic push fit pipe and fittings.
