mike JB weld is not petroleum resistant. Get a Gas tank repair kit from auto parts store. If can’t, get the pc-11 two part marine epoxy or fiberglass putty. No need to empty the gas tank or leave the gas cap off
People stole 2 gallons of gasoline and left 1/2 inch hole on my gas tank. I never understood why people have to steal. Now I have to fix my truck gas tank. Thanks for the video.
Cause people are on drugs and that's where all their money goes to feed their habit, they dont have money for fuel so they steal it. Same thing happened to me. My friend just got his catalytic converter cut off his truck parked on the street.
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
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?
To this day it is holding up well. My car is from 2000 and doesn't have this pressure alarm. I checked and it doesn't appear to be leaking. I hope you can solve your problem.
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.
I fixed mine with a proper sized fine tooth bolt coated in JB Weld, worked perfectly. Just using the JB Weld on a hole that big didn’t seem like a long term solution, but I hope it holds for you
I had a hole in mine from thief's my own fault for leaving the under cover off. 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.

Im researching this subject topic as i, too, was a victim of theft. I called JB Weld today, and they said the original is fuel resistant. Only the original.
You forgot to use the sand paper before the vinegar and totaly cleaning the metal (tank) surface. The stick product is excelent for the metal surface but beeing very clean, no rust, no dirty, etc. Keep going.
I applied it twice to reinforce it but if the hole is too big we might have to apply two coats for that reason. If it is larger, we may have to use something to cover the hole before applying JB Weld.
@@MindScraper yes, i used the normal one. Sandpaperd around the hole. Cleaned it real well and applied. Rock solid after 24h. Drove all summer with it no issues, even a road trip. New tank arrived 3 months later.
Just went outside today to turn on my car and I have 2 to 3 holes in my gas tank I don't have the money to replace a whole gas tank Will this work for that as well
Great video. I bought the Jb steel but looks like the 2part epoxy works better. Just a few questions wat exactly were you using to clean the surface ? And how long does it takes to cure ?
I used vinegar that is used to season the salad. It takes 24 hours to cure. But I used 2 layers and applied the second one month later. I wanted to make sure it was going to work before sanding and painting.
$6 is what it cost me for the stuff needed.. apposed to the $1000 (that I dont have) as a deductible. Thank you so much, I passed this video to my older bro who said "yes that will work". Some pile of pig vomit drilled my tank.. hope it was worth the $10 bucks that was in it..
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? Thanks for posting
Bingo w/these materials, Thanks a lot for infos. Keep going w/other infos. I use sometime this material and all the time I was very happy. Good product.
I had a minivan with a fiberglass gas tank. I did this and it outlasted the car 3 + years. Besides most mechanic shops didn't want to work on my old van.
In your case this was a good solution. In my car it is still holding up without any problems. I wonder if it's still in your van? I've never tried it on fiberglass.
I tried it. Maybe I didn’t do a perfect job. Half for nearly 3 months. Then today I noticed a leak. It’s slight but it’s there. So I’ll have to get it to stop then try applying more.
@@jksouthern a drill into the gas tank will not explode. If a spark is produced while drilling, it will possibly light any fuel that is leaking onto the ground. It won't explode as it is not pressurized nor atomized. Any fuel that is in a container without oxygen will not burn nor explode.
My tank is plastic and after that I never had leak on it. I think it also works in a metal tank but I can only guarantee that plastic works beautifully.
@@MindScraper wow and it’s been more then 3 years actually my mechanic did the same thing to my car oil pan it had a hole in it and he put that material hopefully mine holds up too thanks for the reply bro
JB Weld doesn't hold up well to gasoline. Even after it's cured it gets soft and rubbery and eventually gets eaten away. The time it took to go get JB weld you could've just went to a auto store and bought a actual fuel tank repair kit
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
I agree it looks good.... but sooner or later it will let go and it will be when you are so far from home or a shop. Best to bite the bullet and just replace the tank and be done with it. Thats my 3 cents worth.....
I have a hole in my tank I cleaned the service and free from rust and oil and put in weld on it only to have the tank leak after letting it sit for 4days
Perhaps something was not done as well or material where it was applied did not deal well with JB weld. In my case I can say that it is OK until today.
Woke up to a nice whole in my tank and I didn’t hit nothing I would of seen the gas leaking out immediately I wonder if someone put a whole in my tank the mechanic said somebody did it
Every time I read a comment like this. I remember the day this happened to me. It's really frustrating. Maybe if they had asked me I would have given them money to buy a few liters of fuel. Unfortunately, we ended up with the car stopped due to such an attitude.
I used in addition to JB weld: -vinegar but what matters is that it is something that removes oils -sanding paper -anti-graft sepray -cloths for cleaning
Hello mir haider . What exactly failed? You could explain so that people who see this video and read your comment understand. Did you clear the surface? You sanded it with sandpaper? Did you use the same epoxy? Did it cure enough? You had the empty tank when you tried. Do you leave the tank cover open or closed during cure?...
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.
@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.
did you have to empty the tank first or you worked as is ?I have a light dripping issue Is there a difference between a gas tank leakage and motor oil leakage?
In my case the hole was in the lowest place of my tank. So it was empty. But whatever the situation, the important thing is that the application area is dry and without moisture.

How is it now? I want to try this did you get it at autozone?
Until today it's fine. No problem.
did you leave the gas tank open or closed while it cured?
In the first hours of the cure I left it open.
Do i have to drain the tank?
Yes, but maybe not completely. If the hole area is dry and clean, I think you won't have a problem.
Was your gas tank metal or plastic
Plastic tank
So gas will not melt this stuff?
Until today no problem
How long did it last. ? I see the post is in 2017

Clean the area well and try again. Spreads over a larger area beyond the leak zone
Did you have to drain the tank? I have a pretty aggressive leak.
Yes. If the tank is very empty, it will be better to perform the procedure.
But if the hole or tear is too large it can be difficult to repair this way.

In my case the hole was in the lowest place of my tank. So it was empty. But whatever the situation, the important thing is that the application area is dry and without moisture.
So did you empty it before applying???
