help! problem!

lol a mate of mine did the exact same thing, there's no easy fix you gotta drop the tank and patch it up or the fuel vapors can get pretty dangerous.

 

take all the lines off and i'm pretty sure its held up by a couple of straps. this was on a vk at the time. might be different on a newer car, just be prepared for a bit of work.

 

very easy to take a vr tank out really,just replace it,there cheap too.
buy a siphoning hose and save your fuel??

 

Don't even think about welding it Beav unless you know what you're doing.
I will blow up and kill you.

 

Solder it with one of those large soldering irons.

 

Still not worth welding, i've seen tanks washed out and then welded and residual fumes still managed to make the tank swell up.
Far safer and hassle free to just buy another tank and be done with it.

 

You can get a fuel tank repair kit from most auto places.
About $30. Epoxy that's fuel resistant.
I'd even think twice about soldering it!

 

either replace it or

get a big soldering iron, 80-120 watt (something with a tip about half the size of a broom handle, you'll need lots of heat to combat the heat sink capabilities of the tank), DO NOT try to weld it or use a flame near it, even when empty, it's not the liquid fuel that's dangerous, it's the vapor that's flammable and explosive.

 

Or beg or borrow or buy from the markets one of the older irons with the block of copper on the end that you heat on the stove.

 

FFS don't put any heat source near that tank!!! Either use fuel resistant epoxy or buy another tank.

 

Yeah you are right, we better disconnect our rear brakes and plumb our exhaust pipes out the front of the car instead of the rear... scardy cat.

 

depends on the heat source, i've soldered quite a few fuel tanks in the past using a large 80 watt soldering iron and the repairs worked well with no ill effects, scariest thing was using this beast as i'm pretty sure it's over 40 years old lol

 

hahahaha,fully sick sub woofer
