    But it's so big......the piece in the tank is about 100mmx80mm and 10-15mm thick...it kinda looks like a resin of some kind.....the tank is in good shape..i'vs tested it in areas with a magnet..no filler....

    Pinholes are very hard to spot, they can just be hidden by paint.
    No filler is good but doesn't mean no leak/s
