Shes' a leaker

[stefan]

So my gas tank is leaking... front side.. ither at or above the seam.

what should i do? try fix? replace with used? new? (eek)

has anyone tried them permatex gas tank repair kits? the ones that come in the plastic box..

a used tank up here probably wont be much better.

as for a new tank.. id really rather not... i could pick up that b6 for that price... and probably have enough $ left over for an engine stand :roll:

I've used some gas tank repair epoxy(not the kit you list here, but probably similar), on the gas tank of my motorcyle. It worked great. I put it on about five years ago and it still doesn't leak.

I'd give it a try first before replacing the tank. You don't have much to lose(maybe a little gas).

I had to replace mine 3 years a go, it rotton on top, I first took it out and repaired it with that tank epoxey, but it only lasted about 3 months and I could smell gas again, so I bought a tank that was sourced in the lower states and it looked like new when it came in, so I undercoated it, put it on, and never looked back :wink:

Eastwood sell a kit to seal the inside of the tank,I used that plus the epoxy on an old Mustang gas tank and it worked well.
