Gas tank started leaking today, a steady drip. Looks like previous owner tried to fixed same problem with JB weld or something. What is best way to correct this problem?

I have tried it all...soldering,brazeing,jb -weld and even cream (inside sealer) All held for a period of time...Then I replaced my tank with anew one..Got tired of cleaning sediment bowl best thing I ever did and could have saved a few bucks had I replaced it first. They are readily avaible and I bought mine for $179.00 acouple of years ago.

HELLO MIKE
THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERANT TYPES OF SEALER YOU CAN PUT INSIDE THE TANK TO SEAL IT.I THINK YOU CAN FIND IT ON THIS SITE. IF YOU CAN NOT REPAIR IT I THINK I MAY HAVE ONE. GOOD LUCK LANCE

Option 1 Rinse the tank thoroughly with a commercial detergent, then fill it with carbon dioxide (eg from MIG welder bottle) and seal it as best you can to stop the CO2 from leaking away..

Then use a tinsmith's electrical soldering iron (big 1 inch tip, and around 200W), some soldering flux and plumbing solder to seal the hole.

Should do the job. But be careful, and do not be tempted to use a blowlamp if no electrical soldering iron is available - think vapour.

Option 2 use a small piece of tin plate, and create a sandwich of tin plate/JB Weld or similar/gas tank

Option 3 use a small fibreglass repair patch

Repaired mine by MIG welding a patch onto it. To make it safe for welding I filled it with water to within a fraction of an inch of where I was welding. Need to let it dry thoroughly afterwards though. Airspace has to be very small - the bigger the space the bigger the explosion you can have if it ignites.
