I knew I should have taken those stupid black bulkheads out that came with tank. The only fitting they take is the back ones shown in my pic. Where the white pvc is attached to go to one inch must have a small leak in both pipes. Now thats no to bad. Its into the drains. But drains my overflow chamber down to that connection, slowly, which is about half way.

If I pull them, its to hard to put non metric standard white pcv in to the bulkheads. Not even a threaded on the bottom side, just flush, so has to go inside the pipe.

In order to pull those bulkheads I have to cut my overflow glass back out. What a PITA that is. But may be better to do now than possible problems later.

Whatcha think?

So asI posted on my how to redo bulkhead thread. Overflow is removed. All three bulkheads removed. Now to clean it up and DO IT RIGHT.

I tried my 1 in bulkhead in the factory holes. Just a bit large. Guess 3/4in is next. Thats ok though as the factory one was same size but at least now it will be properly done.
