I was driving along the road then all of a sudden i see this metal pipe laying on the road. I didn't have enough time to avoid it, and now all my gas is gone. AHH!!!!
How much do you think it will cost me to fix it?

 

how big is the hole? back in the gas crisis some kids drilled a hole in my tank and drained it through a brass fitting i used some JB weld and fiberglass mat and havent had a leak or problem since

 

I don't know about welding, wouldn't it be dangerous especially when weldin on a gas tank??? But using fiberglass, hhhmmm? is patchin the hole with fiberglass a good option?

 

not welding hell its a plastic tank JB WELD is a 2-part epoxy that dries superhard on most surfaces. but like i said earlier about how big is the hole?

 

I have JB Welded a gas tank as well. Held up for 8 years. I knew a guy who JB welded a quarter over a crack in his 240Z head and it was still lasting, 16 years at last count.

 

just get a new tank at a junk yard

 

Putting in a new tank is a hell of a lot more pain than just patching the hole if it's a small hole. Fiberglass kit. use at least 2 or 3 layers of fiberglass, with adequate resin in each layer. make sure you clean and rough up the surface around the crack and overlap plenty.

 

Yeah, second to fiberglass/epoxy thing. It's PITA to replace the gas tank.

 

Thanks guys, ur all super helpful, peace
