DAMN IT!!!!!!!!! I pull the gas tank off my truck to flush the inside before i fire up my truck. The thing is spotless on the inside,except for little floaters. So i flush the shitty gas out and proceed to clean the outside to prevent rust through. As i am cleaning the scaley shit off, inotice 4 nice pin holes that are leaking the vinager i used to flush it. FUCK ME! Jb weld to the rescue till my poly tank comes in.:mad:

Dont use Jb weld it will come back off . The best thing for a fuel tank leak is called Seal All you can buy it at Advance Auto Parts . I usually get a oil filter box lid squirt some seal all on it and let it start to get tacky and you can apply it while it is leaking gas and it will fix it . It is also great for rusty oil pans but does not work on coolant or water .

actually I have seen great results with jb. my uncle ripped a hole is his jeep gas tank while wheeling. Stuff was still on the tank when he sold his jeep like 6 years later. I have let it "set up now for 2 days. I just need it to hold until my poly tank comes in. The way my luck has been it will leak like a sive upon fill-up! Thanks for the info though!:bigthumb
