There is a small rust hole in the outer tub located directly on top of one of the pressure points of the baseplate. Looks like the 1 of 7 friction gaskets moved out of place allowing the outer tub and the baseplate pressure point to rub together causing the hole.

Can the tanks be repaired? Since there already exists a hole in the outer tub, I could drill a hole through the baseplate. Then, install a rubber washer and bolt similar to the 4 bolts and rubber washers that are used to attach the outer tub to the baseplate.

Or, maybe weld a patch. But then rust is a concern.

Any ideas?

Thank you

You can try to use an epoxy two part putty together with an aluminum self adhesive tape.
