i got a leak in my gas tank what should i use to fix it. silicone or some other opoxy. help i'm going broke fast 10 bucks a day.

 

well. how much does a new gas tank cost?

wont take long for 10/day to add up.
2 weeks is like 140bux.

 

Ahhhhh yea... get that fixed man, leaking gas all over is bad for our environment...


I used some quick aluminum epoxy on a gas tank once, and it held for years....


But I believe canadian tire will have something better.... there are also kits where you wrap a film around the tank, but you have to drop it off the car first...

 

Replace it. You can buy a putty/gum like substance that "supposedly" works. I tried it on my Chevette and it didn't work. Replace the tank and be careful doing so. [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

i would replace it but it is like 250 for a new tank plus 2 hours of labourso 360. and it is just a winter beater.so some form of epoxy.

 

epoxy, jb weld...work very well.
do not use silicone , eurethane or other goop, it will cause big engine problems

 

Tanks R us in mississauga, prolly about 100 for a rust free southern tank. Look em up on yellow pages

 

Or you can get a new one. I just bought a brand new one from a place in eastern canada for an BMW E30. $215 CAN + ship.

 

A tank is cheaper than a fine for leaking fuel....or you car catching fire....unless you you have fire insurance!
