      @@davidferguson9673 I have a Toyota Tacoma which is a plastic tank nowhere near the muffler so far it's been holding 4 months no problem whatsoever, however I used to screw in plug so all I did is have to seal the plug in the area around it. I don't see any problems developing from this, I do most of my own mechanic work myself and consider myself a better mechanic than most. A Tacoma gas tank is about $1,000 if you can find them.
      Update 07/27/19 no problems no leaks as good as new.

    Cut out a patch out of the side wall of a cheap plastic gas container 4x the hole's diameter. I knew that would not melt. Put it over the hole using gasoline-resistant sealant like Seal-All or a 2 part epoxy resin like JB Weld. Check it once in a while, though. Gasoline resistant is not gasoline proof. There is always the possibility of a leak. But it will get you back on the road until you have the time and $$$$ to replace the gas tank

  • @JoshuaCussins
    @JoshuaCussins 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    How did it hold up? I had a hole on the top if my tank from when I bought it. Crazy. There was jb weld already on it but it wasn't holding pressure and tripped the engine light, same code has faulty gas cap (tank not holding pressure). I removed. Cleaned and replaced with better jb weld. Said it would work on plastics and with gasoline. It worked for a while but is now leaking air and a little gas again. Im to the point where I've gotten all the old jb weld off again and the tank is off the vehicle. This time I'm thinking of, first obviously remove any remaining fuel, then clean good with water, let dry. Then attempt to weld the hole closed with a soldering iron and small amount scrape edge tank plastic material over hole. Either that or a nylon bolt with rubber washer, either tap out the hole or remove fuel pump to reach hand inside tank, put nylon bolt with rubber washer coming from inside, going out the hole, with another rubber washer and nylon nut on outside. Possibly thread the hole aswell and use some sort of pvc pipe glue that will fuse the nylon bolt and plastic tank hole together. Anyways any takes?

    • @MindScraper
      @MindScraper  ปีที่แล้ว

      To this day it is holding up well.
      My car is from 2000 and doesn't have this pressure alarm.

      I hope you can solve your problem.

  • @TheXmanmtbr2
    @TheXmanmtbr2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Only one problem. The JB weld material is hard as rock and the fuel tank is plastic which actually expands and contracts slightly based on temperature and weight. Eventually the two materials will seperate. Hopefully your repair is for a temporary purpose.

It's a metal tank, I used an m8 5mm long flanged bolt with 1mm thread pitch, tapped the hole up to a 8mm thread, the tap was able bend the metal up inside the tank for a good thread length, used a copper washer and job done, my car has plastic under covers now so tank isn't visible but I have a drain plug now.

    I tried this same method before I saw this and it didn’t work for me. I added one step after cleaning and sanding. I cleaned the sanded area again and the lightly scored the area around the hole with a box cutter. I’m going to try one more time before installing the used tank I bought bc just the installation alone is over $400. I only used 1 thick coat of this particular epoxy. Hoping two will do the trick as it’s seemed to work for you. Still holding up? No leaked, no odor?

    JB Weld doesn't hold up well to gasoline.
    Even after it's cured it gets soft and rubbery and eventually gets eaten away.

    I think the fuel is going to eat the jb weld. This wont last long I'm betting. I've even seen jb weld gas tank repair kits with mesh in them not work, the fuel tanks plastic isnt poris enough to hold the jb weld. I've seen cracks repaired with a soldering iron before but never a hole. I have heard of people using a plastic oil bottle for donar plastic. Good luck

      If you can test on another type container or tank. Sometimes hear only what other people say not the most assertive. First of all ask these people how they were applied. Did they follow the instructions? Did they wipe the surface badly? Did they pass any sandpaper? All I can tell you is that I did what is in the video. Until today I had no problems. Maybe in a future video I'll show you how the tank is.

    • @samsteel4456

      @MartinHunter Nemisis Exactly. The key is to scuff with very rough sandpaper and even score it a bit. As long as the surface is 100% free of oil/gas (use brake cleaner) it will stick beautifully.
