cygnusx1 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 When I bought my 280Z in 1989, it had a pinhole leak in the bottom of the fuel tank. I went to my local hardware shop (pre-home depot days) and the old man said, "If I had a dime for every gas tank I fixed with this, I'd be rich." He handed me a tube of Seal-All. It's been 17years and it still isn't leaking! I cleaned it to the metal, smeared the stuf on it, and let it dry. Not sure about the plastic though. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/reviews/SealAllGlueReview.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Mike is it leaking out of the bottom fittings? They all do this as they are shipped, all you have to do is tighten them. YOu can replace the washers toooooo, but that wasnt nessecary for me. And btw these tanks are the biggest POS's ever. I owuld have never bought one had I actually known what I was doing when I did buy it. Ill be going FUELSAFE later and completely rebuilding the back floor.... but the money required for a good fuel cell is wayyy outta budget. Wish I would have just modified my stock tank.... -Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 not from the fittings, from the fricken sender! like around it. its causing my spudder up top, the fuel pressure now flutters bad when boost comes on. ya ill never buy a plastic tank again, fuelsafe is what im going with too, 16gallon badass! i hate my 12 gallon..... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
