[SEL] Repair of old copper water tank

[R & M Ingold]

My old Dad had a car with a leaking radiator back in the 20s. As he and his 
mate had to go on a date, they put some oats in to seal it.
Driving along with their ladies, it boiled, blew the cap and sprayed them 
with hot porrige. I dont think it did much for the romantic intentions!!
