[C320-list] Fw: Water tank inspection cap

[Dave Anderer]

Allan - here is what you said last year.  Based on your advice I've 
tried it and had no leaks:

For 4 years now, I have been living with water in the bilge every time I 
fill the water tanks.  Despite up to 12 wraps of the plumbers Teflon 
tape on the threads of the clean-outs on the water tanks, nothing has 
held the water back.  This weekend I used Hercules Real-Tuff Teflon 
Paste Thread Sealant from the local Home Depot and finally, no more 
water in the bilge!  The stuff is non-hardening and lubricates so I 
think that getting the clean-outs off will be no problem.  Best of all, 
it wipes clean.

But I got it at Home Depot, it is a teflon based "goop", and I think it does have the name Tuff in it.  The tanks have never leaked again since using this stuff.  If you have not found the stuff by 7/4, let me know.
