  • @nywildfire512
    @nywildfire512 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Great stuff thanks man. Get most of the gas out, to reduce the pressure, do the same prep and put a tiny bit just on the crack and rub it in. If there is any evidence of tiny leak still, clean it with alcohol and put another light film. The key is to keep anything in between the metal and the putty. Once you stop the leak then clean with alcohol and light sand it and re-apply a second coat you will be in good shape. Hence this was the second coat because he already repaired it once.

  • @caseytbss
    @caseytbss 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Run your tank to as absolute close to E as you can. Then have the car wherever you are going to work on it and get the rest of fuel out if you can (many methods). Otherwise jack the vehicle up at an angle to where fuel isn’t on the inside touching the leak if that makes sense

    I have never had luck patching a crack or gouge with anything but here's a no leak gas tank fix for a screwdriver hole. drop your tank/drain it, drill the hole out the same size as a valve stem, fish the stem through the hole and put the nut on. Re install the tank. heres my advice and warnings . only drill your tank if you are confident the fumes are gone, use an inert gas to purge the tank/ flood with soapy water. Leave the valve core in the stem! as tempting as it is to decore it for quick drains dont rely on the dust cap alone. Valve stems were not designed to be tank repairs/drains. This should only be used temporary and checked regularly. I have seen this fix hold up years. I hope this helps somebody whos a victim of gas theft/road debry so they can get to work till pay day,

    i had a leak on fuel cell at what GM called a "bad weld" where the fuel filler neck/check valve meet. GM is was remiss in honoring the recall. I did have to drop the fuel cell, as big a pain as it is, it did help. i used a product called Versa-Chem Tank Repair Kit.. I allowed 36 hours for the patch too cure, the tank had been drained. I preemptively replaced the fuel pump, after I removed the fuel pump I saw that it was possibly from another vehicle and had been modified. The patch seems to be doing well.

That was in 1988. That big ugly Chevy suburban still runs, the wife refuses to let it go. Never a drop came out 'since that evil deer's wrinkle crack in the tank was sealed with a bar of shell gas station soap. Took 4 seconds to do the repair.

    I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Galant DE 4 Cyl 2.4L car and it's impossible to find a replacement fuel tank for some obscure reason (unless I spit out 400 bucks).

    It's strongly advised not to try and use JB weld, or other "non-specialist" two part products, as most of them are exothermic. Some create enough heat to cause ignition. Not to mention the fact (as you found) many won't adhere unless the surface is completely dry/free from oil and fuel, etc.

    did you drain the gas tank first? mine is leaking a little faster than yours so im not sure if the gas will mess with the kit.

    What about the rust from the inside? If I scrub the outside and the tank is rusting from the inside, will this still work?

    I own 2 chainsaws with a metal fuel tank which leak along the edges where the tank meets the shroud. What should I use to seal those cracks? Can solder be used?

      I have since followed the procedure described in the video, and my tank leak problem has been completely resolved. Thanks again !!

    • @UncleDoug

      I think preparation of the surface is important. I cleaned the area very well with fine sandpaper so the metal was shiny, and jacked the car sideways so the gas level was real low over the crack when I applied the putty. I also used some of the putty to fill a hole in the floorboard. I check it from time to time, and so far....no more leaking and the floorboard hole is still nicely patched.

      Follow up: One year has passed and the tank has begun to leak again in the same place. I scraped the epoxy and it peeled off the tank in big chunks, exposing the original tiny hole. I guess I'll either have to remove the tank and get it soldered.....or repeat the epoxy repair every year.

    OK.. great video... but the one and most important thing is not to use a knife to scrape anything off a gas tank you may spark and then ignite the fuel!!..unless of course you can make tutorials from Valhalla 😅

    This is a great video. But I am most eager to know if same product and procedure will work on a tiny gas line leak about 2 feet from the gas tank on my car?

    Leaks in old gas tanks are like mice -- if you see one there will be others. Buy a new gas tank. Besides, you might not be around the next time the tank springs a leak and you could end up with a puddle of gasoline under your car.

    • @FastestIntegra

      No you don't need to drain the tank.
      It is a two-part epoxy stick that is Chemical Solvent Resistance to Gasoline, Oil, Kerosene and Water.

      FastestIntegra i was wondering how long did it last? And do i have to knock off the jb weld or can I just repatch over it? I just bought this car and noticed the patch was leaking a slow drip like yours please let me know thanks for the vid!
