help...petrol leak
 

ive got a problem with petrol leaking from a hairline crack under my tank..
has anyone got any idea what i can use to seal and stop the weeping of petrol
that doesnt dissolve on contact with it..thanks for now,punchy.:(

Hi, i had a similar problem recently and Petseal was recommended to me. it is available on ebay. Good luck. Andy

those petseal type products are ok for cars but i'd look into having it repaired properly the last thing you want is a fuel leak on a motorbike as unlike cars our tanks are on top of the engine and above the exhaust and spark plugs :thumbdown:

Cheers Andy,ordered some off fleabay,ill see how i get on..:thumbup1:

If its a steel tank, surely the best option would be to have it welded !!

Probably a patch welded over the crack but you will need a skilled welder as the skins are very thin on tanks..

Whatever you do though, the tank needs to be drained and thoroughly flushed before welding !

my thoughts exactly ted maybe take it to a radiator repairs specialist they normally do fuel tanks aswell
