Re: Leak around rivets on gas tank
the tank has to be fixed the right way now, there is no safe way to mickey mouse a repair on the tank, it has to be resoldered , opening up the tank is the absolutley the best way to repair the tank, but most restores don't have the experience or talent to do it that way, clean the metal around the leak to bear metal, clean tank to remove any fuel or vapors have a radiator shop clean it, some radiator shops will still solder it, if not it can be done at home if all precautions are taken and followed, solder all of the bracket around seams and rivets, when done install the late steering column bracket the one that attaches to the bottom of the dash rail, if you do it your self use silver solder, its stronger, how ever you do it just remember that's gas leaking on your foot
