dos-urbane Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi everyone,I've done a really dumb thing! The other day, I unscrewed the lid (Male 65mm fitting) off our underground oil tank to check the oil level, something I've done many times before. It was raining and the top slipped from my hand and vanished into the abyss between the tank and the concrete box that it sits in. Tried everything to reach it, but no good, so I decided to go out and get a new one. I've tried umteen different places to get a replacement, but alas no joy. Can anyone point me in the right direction???? Thanks,Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyphilpott Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I cannot offer you a great deal of hope I am afraid. I damaged one of these a couple of years ago and despite extensive searching on the internet I was unable to get a replacement. I eventually cobbled together a repair but not really satisfactory.If you do find a supplier do post again!!Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody234 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 try a boroscope to locate the lid then get a fishing rod with a spinner on it with 3 treble hooks to pull the lid up safley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
