[SEL] Repair of old copper water tank

[MaytagTwin at aol.com]

Hi Paul,
The simplest way I can think of, and probably closest to what a farmer 100  
years ago would use, is to get some dried horse manure, crumble it and mix a  
little into the tank while the engine is hot and running.  If you don't  have a 
horse, go to the auto parts store and buy some Barrs Leak, a brand of  stop 
leak that I suspect will do about as well as horse manure.  
 
Glad to be of help.

Folks it  looks like I will be coming into possession of an old copper hot 
water tank  that I want to polish up and use for a cooling tank for my 1905 
Stover 5 HP  Engine. I have not got the tank yet but was just wondering if there 
is any  small corrosion holes in it what would be the best way to repair  it.

Thanks,

Paul
