(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So the upper portion of my tank has some pin holes where it sits on the upper cushon. It looks like it had been welded here before. There are three very small holes but it is enough to leak.
So my question is: Cant I put a coat of JB over the area and just not fill the tank all the way up and call it good? Will JB Weld resist the fuel or will the fuel just melt through? |

Well, if I find a loaner tank I will do that but for now I want to get my car running.
I actually took this tank to has it boiled dipped and pressure tested. They told me it checked out well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It appears they were wrong. Not too sure if I should call them up and say (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) or just deal with it. |

Then seal the holes and put bolts in the inlet outlet holes so they don't get sealed pour in the POR15, slosh it around then let it dry... You are back in business in no time. |
