Dump trailer crack in oil reservoir

[borisvonf]

I have a dump trailer and noticed a small crack in the top of the oil reservoir tank on top. Covered with duct tape to keep moisture out until I can get repaired. Any suggestions on repair or source for tank replacement. Thanks in advance.

Who made the pump set-up?

Surplus Center has hydraulic oil tanks and accessories.

Some pictures would certainly help us give you some suggestions on how to fix.

Drain it, flush it out a couple times and braze it.

this sounds like an opportunity to upgrade the pump if need be.

I'm sure it is plastic. I'd hit it with some JB Weld and keep getting up.

There are inexpensive plastic welders out there. Harbor Freight has one. Check youtube for ideas.
