drippy gas tank x2

[Ytyukon]

I have 2 gas tanks and both same issue. leaking round the studs.
i am going to try jb weld epoxy.
anyone else have any ideas.

I've heard thay both work but I have only used fibreglass my self and a super glue called quick fix or bond it. it's powder and glue. that can fix radiators or enything it's mean stuff

one can sometimes put a nitrile o-ring on then tighten a washer & nut there to seal them - cause is due to bending from over tightening, so don't over tighten

is what its from tightening. i got jb weld fuel tank repair.
i am going to cut four pieces of fule line hose..insert over the studs..after putty dries...that might work...use it like a washer.

Line the tank it will fix the leak and keep the tank from rusting.

Silicone under the tank to the bike then do it up softly let it dry.next time you undo the blots the tank will stay on bit of a pull and it rips off ezy. That way your bolts are for looks.

Silicone is gas sociable! Other words gas eats silicone. Read the label on the tube

Your petrol dose not go under the tank. Try in it.

See gray silicon under the tank

Forgot to mention, these tanks are poorly made so don't over tighten the clamp nuts or you will pull them out of the tank causing the leak
