    Pressure tank leak
    My well pressure tank is leaking at the threaded union where the gauge fits into the "t" coming from the tank. I tried replacing the gauge - no luck. Upon closer inspection there may be a micro fracture on the coller of the female side of the union - on the "t". Anything I can do short of replacing the tank?

    Thanks

    Bear in mind that the T is not part of the tank. It can be replaced without replacing the tank.
