Fuel Tank repairs.

You can get 2 part putties..

or you could have used Cake Soap....

Like Truckster said 2 part puttys are good....Especially LOCTITE petrol tank repair putty.... Got me outta the crap at the Cape once...

I have been told chewing gum works, I think only on petrol though.
Untested and probably an old wives tale - never had to try it myself though.

I have heard the cake of soap thing - you mash soap into the holes by rubbing a cake of soap over the holes. Apparently it works a treat and lasts quite some time.

Always found minties the best. You know the white sweets.

Need to be slightly warm such as off the dash or a couple of chews, and push them in and around the hole. Seem to stick pretty well to the tank and dry hard.

Came across the idea on our cape trip in 1992 with 7 small cracks in the fuel tank on the folds. Seemed to be stress fractures and only happened on corrugations with more than 3/4 of a tank. Had a packet in the car and the kids used to let them fall out of the packet. Noticed that soft ones were hard to remove off the floor.

Repairs lasted us until we got home, and another 20,000k around brisy until I could afford a replacement tank.

minties as fuel crack repairers and cheezels as replacement fire starters, amazing, no wonder people keep coming back to this forum ....
