aluminum gas tank

Hello:
I too have had this problem! Short term cure: Make sure the area is dry (no gas leaking) scuff it a bit, mix some JB Weld and apply! works wonders!
I will also be in Tamps next weekend with the Victoria! I hope to see some of you all there!

when you repair it from the outside, pull a small vacuum on the tank, it will suck the epoxy or what ever in the crack.

the vacuum will draw in the gas fumes and kaboom I would use an air compressor venturi type vacuum. just a thought. Ed ke6bnl

I removed the tank, drained it and repaired with urethane.  It's alive! ...  It worked!  Thanks Doc

Good for you Johnny    

now its time to rack up some miles.
face it, you might as well keep it, ain't nobody gonna buy it.
now if you can convince Terri to let you keep it  

reckon what the odds of that are  :?
