I have a skid steer with a leaky weld on the hydraulic tank. I know the guy before me welded it. (still leaked) And I welded it twice. I just can't seal it. I mig welded it twice and thinking this time hit it with the Tig welder. I am not a pro, but have been welding for decades.
Ground out the old weld. Seen where is was leaking. I have drained the tank below the weld. Cleaned it very well. It is an inside corner made with 1/4 steel. I just can't seem to get it to completely seal. With 1/4" steel there is no flex at the joint. The tank is part of the frame.
Any tips? Or just keep trying?
