Greg repairs a jammed gate valve on a rural water tank.
Disassembly, lubrication of the valve parts, and reassembly are covered.

The tank depicted was mostly empty, but the valve was jammed in the closed position and needed to be repaired to allow for fire protection for the house and property. The amount of water spilled on the ground was only a small fraction of the tank's total capacity.
