This home owner ruined a perfectly good Power Rangers saucer sled. While this picture cannot show all the details, this tank, but this tank was being held in the air by the fill pipe. Two of the legs were rusted through such that they were not touching the ground. The shifting of the tank from the rusted legs caused pressure on the valve from the feed line. This, in turn, caused the hole in the tank where the valve threads in to weaken. The tank began to leak at the valve, and the sled was used to catch the dripping.
We prioritized this job for first thing, but the homeowner let the dripping occur for weeks before calling us. As a result, there was a lingering odor of oil in the house. The smell will dissipate over time, but it could have been minimized.
I tried to clean the sled, but the top ended up more slippery than the bottom!
