Default Re: gas tank leak

I had the same problem last year on my 29 Tudor. Asking around my MARC club a long time restorer advised me to get some Marine Tex from West Marine or any boating supplier.
Empty the tank and let it dry out, clean all surfaces to the metal, prep it with acetone and apply the Marine Tex.
I also left the screws loose in the clamp because of the design all the chassis vibrations are transmitted to the bracket with the loading of steering. So far - so good.
