fuel tank leak - epoxy question

Aug 03, 2006 24 Replies

I tried one of the epoxy products specifically for this on an metal tank, it would hold for a while (several months usually), then start to leak again. After about the 3rd time, I replaced the tank as I was tired of messing with it.

Sand the leak area carefully with emery paper.Cut several pieces of fiberglass cloth and use fiberglass epoxy resin.I patched several small leaks on the bottom of a 1978 Dodge van gas tank using this method.Ten years later,no leaks. cuhulin

Thanks for all the help.....I tried a patch made by Permatex, and will report back on the results.......
