can a leak in a gas tank be fixed with fiberglass (or any other way in the back yard)?

Answer 1

get the Cycle tank repair kit from KBS coatings. it has all the products ya need to fix up to a 5 gal tank. comes with a cleaner, rust remover, tank sealer & a patch of fiberglass mesh to patch a small hole too.

Answer 2

Wish you had said where the leak was on the tank, but. Remove tank, drain and let sit for a day with cap off. Fill with water and dish soap mix (completely fill), take oxygen/acetylene torch and appropriate rods (I often use metal clothes hangers) to repair the hole/leak. Once the repair is finished check the leak. Once you are satisfied that it is fixed, drain the solution and flush with clean water. After you have completely flushed all the soapy solution from the tank, drain and let sit and dry for a day at least. In most any hotrod type magazine you will find a solution that you pour into your tank and it coats the inside and completely seals. It is not expensive for the solution. Once this sits and dries over night, reinstall (also a good time to replace any rubber fuel lines under the vehicle or around the tank.
