Christophe, I come back to this again...
You are not afraid (of clogging) of clogging your exchangers with this product?!?

No chance of fouling? Isn't 1 or 2 mm of LHM on the surface of the buffer on exchangers 1000 mm deep that will foul anything? Or ???
And the water is pumped from 3 m deep in the buffer...if you were talking about the solar collectors?

Come on, I'll be nice to you....
Buy a concrete manhole and do the water plus lhm test...before throwing it into your underground pool

I haven't followed everything, but I really don't see the point of this layer of vapor barrier oil.
If there is evaporation loss, it's probably because the top of your pad isn't waterproof.
Is there an effective vapor barrier, without leakage, under the insulation of the upper part of your "buffer"?

Yes it is planned and I have concrete stuff for that...but the problem is that I also have to simulate the casing.
I found old two-component Sika products but they have been outdated for 20 years... and given their current prices, it's expensive for a test...
Or do I try with the expired ones?

No, it's not 100.00% waterproof, I assume... even after my interventions (but before, before the gaping holes, it was a disaster...)

This stamp is crazy!
I will find out a bit about water-based epoxy (the thinner is water) if that happens, it would go into the cracks on its own and freeze.
Otherwise, more conventionally, you lower the water level a little to make a layer of water-based epoxy on the upper part of the tank so that the oil or the candle wax will not be able to get too much into your concrete, or else some kind waxed concrete
At least the paraffin burns well if you ever have to clean up the carnage later

I assure you it is waterproof on the hydraulic part, I was talking about the airtightness of the aerial part (air saturated with humidity)...

I haven't reread everything. But if you were ever trying to keep that buffer under pressure. You would considerably limit the evaporation. This technique was used on gas tanks in the last century...

Impossible macro…it's not pressure-tight + RoW??
How much pressure should you put on the fuel?
What do we do now?
