Default Re: Gas leaking

It takes time for the JB weld to set up, best to drain the tank so the gas doesnt weep between the metal and the JB weld thats trying to cure (gasoline and its fun capillary action)

Im not sure if it will setup in freezing temps - never had tried but id imagine it would take longer (maybe a few days) Worth a shot to try for sure.

Read some forums where people were saying you may have to mix it in a warmish environment (50* or so) then run outside and quickly jam it on. They recommended pointing a heat lamp at it overnight so it cures in a day. Sounds like a plan to me. Some guy patched a coolant leak on his engine block in 25*F weather and its holding strong 40,000 miles later he says.
