They make clear primer for pvc and it is just as good. But if you are having trouble seeing it you can tape off the pipe after a dry fit so it won't be visible when you remove th tape.

ARRRRRG! I filled w/ water to make sure none of the pvc leaked at the joints.

 

the pvc doesn't leak, and the durso is silent....but the freakin bulkhead leaks! =/ what a PITA. I'm gonna check it out and see if I can add more silicone to seal it up. but if that don't work, this project may be doomed since it might be the hole that is the problem.

Here's some pics of the plumbing...no leaks:

The durso I made was even quiet - no sucking noise while I had the tank being filled.

But I noticed (a little late), that it was starting to leak at the bulkhead here:

what's the proposed solution? what was the actual problem that led it to leak in the first place? the rubber stopper on the bulkhead wasn't doing it's job? or is it the chip on the hole that's making it leak?

 

or maybe i missed something?

it's likely the chip. Gonna add another gasket (a little thicker and wider) and silicone it like crazy; especially where the chip is.
