ABSTRACT:
A sealing system provides for plugging holes in a ferromagnetic tank structure. A tripod has variable length legs for placing on a curved or irregular surface of the tank structure. A permanent magnet assembly is attached to each one of the variable length legs for removably attaching the legs individually to the ferromagnetic tank structure. An actuator is mounted in the tripod for positioning over the hole for movement generally perpendicular to the tank structure in which the hole is located. A clamping plug is mounted on the actuator for insertion into and sealing the hole.
