Fuel tank sealer

Post by Anonymous »

Anyone got any ideas/advice on something to use to seal a fuel tank leak from the outside ?

The leak is tiny and adjacent to the seam. Unfortunately, the area will never be dry (it is right at the bottom of the tank), so not sure how to seal it off.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

All the best

Petro Patch has worked really well for me in the past with small leaks, I think it is made by Comma and readily available
