    Hi MRSTITTLEMOUSE,

    If the actual liner is cracked then it's not the gas that's the problem, it's moisture getting into the insulation which makes the insulation useless. IF that's happened then it cannot be repaired.

    If the cracks are too big or there are chunks out it, it cannot be repaired.

    There is a sealant you can get for this, but it's very expensive as it has to dry hard, silicone won't cut it but to find out for sure you'd probably be better off getting a pro to look at it.
