Hole in gas tank

Most two part epoxy’s are gasoline resistant. Here is a specific product, either the same or similar to a product I used many years ago with success.

you will need to drain the fuel, of course, and clean to bare metal around the hole.

Thanks Larry for the quick response. The one and a half star product rating will need some looking into but it could be a viable alternative to removing the engine.

Something I failed to include previously. For a small hole such as you have, using a good sealant while inserting a properly sized sheet metal screw into the hole will provide a mechanical reinforcement to the sealant.

A screw just by itself will often suffice to basically seal the leak until a better option is on hand.

Doctor, you could use a sealed rivet of 4mm. That's what some previous owner used on the gas tank of my cat. Was still free of leaks.

Now it’s sort of like the Elvis Pantera....  with random holes in it!

Thanks for your input. Will report.
