Problem with leaking Alky control tank

Well, Between last night and today I got everything hooked up (Piece of cake) and it seems to be working great. I took it for a short spin to test everything out. When I got home I did a check for leaks and found the alky tank to have a constant drip from the front corner where everything is mounted in the tank.
Is there anything I can do to fix this, or should I just get ahold of Razor on Monday to have a new tank sent out?

Thanks,
Mark

Don't even mess with it. Call Julio on Monday. He will send you another one. He has the best customer service you can ask for.

Incidentally, methanol is highly toxic stuff and it can be absorb through the skin. It can cause brain problems and blindness. Be careful handling it.
