Repairing leaking plastic fuel tank


Recommended Posts

Posted

Anybody know of a fool proof way to do this? 

The one on my szr has a weep near the rear mount. 

If there isn't a reliable and relatively cheap way of doing it I'll source another tank.

Maybe getting it plastic welded, problem with any liner is the plastic tank expands and the liner peels off inside.

Yeah I wondered about the expansion thing. 

My mate recommended an aerospace spec sealer.... But it is almost as much as a used tank🤔

Previous owner looks like they have had a crack at repairing it with resin of some sort but the fuel has got between the tank and the repair

That's going to need removing first, s/h tank may be easier/cheaper
