Make sure your gasket surfaces are clean and torque the bolts evenly. Algae can be a nasty problem. Not sure if I'd want to pressure wash that tank unless I knew I could get it perfectly dried out. There are products avalible to kill algae. I worked on a tractor with injection pump troubles this winter. Pump shop said there was evedence of algae.
