Unhappy Hole in Gas Tank

Without welding or replacing the tank, what do you guys suggest? I saw on Monster Garage one time that they used some sort of Epoxy on analuminum tank. The hole is tiny, where do you think i could find something to patch it?

Check your local parts store... Ask for gas tank repair putty.... Its a two part putty that when kneeded it will get warm, then apply to the area....

PS Read direction to be safe,......

Note: welding gas tanks has been deemed hazardous to most of the people who've tried it. Do so at your own risk

Yeah, I didn't plan on welding it. "Without welding..."

AutoZone had a little repair kit for $9. Takes 2 hours to cure, hopefully it lasts!

JB Weld will also work well on a gas tank.
