Default Re: Gas Tank Leak

I have fixed literally hundreds of gas tanks.

1. Wash out gas tank with water after removing all fittings,cap etc. (Wash out good)
2. Get rags and plug up all holes (not totally airtight)
3. take old radiator hose hook it into tank behind any car or truck.
4. Let car or truck run for about an hour.
5. Immediately take off the hose plug all holes and solder immediately. Will not blow up. But.............if you wait and let tank sit. The fumes will come back. That's why you want to solder immediately after pulling it off running vehicle.
