Allan - Bentonite is an amazing product (clay). I built a underground home in 1980-83. I used three varieties of the stuff to perform specific water sealing tasks. Used the beads (as in your picture) as a three inch covering on an almost horizontal concrete roof (100' X 32'), used a trowel grade on the vertical walls (covered with thick visqueen), and used a caulking grade to seal all concrete to concrete joints (post tensioned). Still have about fifty 50# bags of the granular left. NO leaks at all in 25 years.
The granular works real good in sealing leaks in ponds, too. Just pour in on the water and it gravitates to the leaks and seals (probably work on a tank also).
On the next job on a tank (if empty) you may want to consider the trowel or caulk grades to seal those leaky seams (either will stay in place a little better than the granular so it will have time to swell and seal). bob farrell
