Plastimo flexible water tank - replacing inner liner

[fjweaver]

My water tank sprung a pin-prick leak at the weekend which I presume that can't be fixed.

Does anyone know if (and where) I can get a replacement inner liner rather than buy the whole thing?

Plastimo sell replacement inner bladders http://www.plastimo.com/catalogue/index.php?LangID=1&catid=10Go to flexible water tanks.
Saying that though if the bladder is pvc it should be easily repairable. Using something like this

I have just replaced a very old 200 litre flexible tank which had split down the seam, and was probably circa 1978 when the boat was built.
Replaced it with a new Plastimo for £68 which took 20 minutes to replace - in my book a bargain.
I suspect you will take more than £68 worth of time removing the tank locating the pin hole and fixing it.. why did it pin hole in the first place? Are there more pin holes lurking, so that you will have to do the same in 3 months time - go on - give the Marina skip a present and get a new one!

thanks for that will try to fix it first with that fixing kit but found a price of about £28 for a replacement.

Don't know where the hole came from but it was very bouncy going over to Cherbourg on Friday night, it's not on the seam so something must have punctured it somehow
