[V8] Overflow Reservoir

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

For $60 it might not be worth trying to repair - but I did repair both hose
nipples on my tank. Both cracked like yours. I cut off the nipple and tapped a
pipe thread into the plastic, then screwed in a metal hose barb. I put teflon
tape on the threads and have had no seepage in several years.
I can't remember the tap sizes but it should be obvious what will work.

btw, if you have to buy the taps and hose barbs, you will easily be $20 into a
$60 part. I only did it because the tank price I was quoted was well over $100.
