(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? |

Just do yourself a favor and do the POR-15 treatment and be done with it FOREVER. It will only take you 24 hours to finish. . . After reading this you're 10 seconds behind. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Edit: You can cut down the drying times a lot by using a hair drier or leaf blower to get it all dry. It is super important to have the tank completely dry inside before adding the POR-15 final coating. |
