fuel tank repair

[Craig Johnson]

i spiked the side of the fuel tank on my 200t, not a big hole more a crack , but enough for it to weep. Any suggestions which glue/product i should use to fix?

I've used one of the Isopon fillers a couple of times (a pink one ) on fuel tanks. Petrol doesn't seem to affect it but you do need to provide a good keyed surface to get it to stick. 

 

There may be better things, it was what was to hand late in the evening and at the time I thought it would be a temporary fix - it lasted longer than the saw did.

Your technical knowledge on such matters stagger me at times.

It was 20 years back or more FFS  

 

Looking online I think it was P38, but as they do quite a range don't quote me on that.

Have a look in the garage, you've probably still got the rest of the tub of P38. 'they don't make them like they used to' is a good thing in relation to car bodywork.

You could try Milliput, totally weird stuff but works where others fail.

“Quicksteel plastic tank repair kit” used it a few times at work on some plant machines, still going strong.
