<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>Thank you VERY much for your answers. Really helpful. It’s a relief to know that the tank can be removed, and if the price is still around 200 euros, then that’s a lot less that what I was expecting, so good news. Will call Beneteau to ask for quoatation.</p>
<p>Thanks again to all, </p>

<p>Hi Matias</p>
<p>I had the same issue with my B40 a few years ago. I had a plastic welding expert check out the crack to see if he could weld it. He was firmly of the opinion that the crack could not be repaired by welding it. I had the tank replaced with a new one from Beneteau. From this you will understand that the tank can be removed from the boat and replaced although it is a tight fit. As far as I recall the tank was about Euro 200 plus freight and fitting.</p>
<p>Good luck. …</p>

<p>I'd be tempted to try 3M 5200 on it (rather thickly) spreading it over a good sized area with perhaps a couple of patches of fiberglass cloth sandwiched in to hold down flexing. Just a thought I had.</p>

<p>While I do not know what material the tanks are made of I do know that they are very difficult to repair. We had our water tank in the aft cabin on our 2008 43 replaced due to a crack. They had to remove the bedding and boards under it. I also had the holding tank in the forward head crack. I did the replacement myself. Early year 40 & 43s had faulty tanks. I hope this helps.</p>
