    Thanks Dave and Tub’s for your replies.
    Yes, the cracks are in the soldered joints Tub’s.Your suggestions make a lot of sense and is the information I was hoping for. There isn’t any paint to worry about , just the nickel plating, so I’m not too sure what happens to that. I guess I will just scrape it off. You didn’t mention using acid flux when doing the soldering, but I would think that would be a must and to just make sure the tank was washed both inside and out thoroughly on completion.

    Thanks very much once again.
