(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) So the upper portion of my tank has some pin holes where it sits on the upper cushon. It looks like it had been welded here before. There are three very small holes but it is enough to leak.
So my question is: Cant I put a coat of JB over the area and just not fill the tank all the way up and call it good? Will JB Weld resist the fuel or will the fuel just melt through? |

I'd give it a full 24 hours to dry on each of the rinses.
This is not a process that you want to rush. If the POR lifts (and it will if there is ANY moisture left in there), it will be the end of your tank. No way to get it off and re-do. Some people have it last forever, others only a few years and then need a new tank. They guys that have it last forever take the time to make sure the tank is bone dry. Zach |
