Anyone ever successfully repair a cracked tank?

I ate it pretty hard yesterday and the front right edge of the tank hit the pavement hard, gas poured out...
I'll post pics as soon as I pull the tank.

A possible repair is MarineTex Grey. It worked for me. Joe

Hope you are ok, one possibility buy a cheap scratched tank from ebay and get a baglux tank cover to go over it. I like the way they look.

Bought the blue tank off eBay.
$225 shipped.

Joe, I am interested in the MarineTex repair. Care to elaborate or send me a pm and a phone number.

Fe Man

Hey, a new tank is only $730.00......

It is simple. Clean the area, sand with a coarse grit to create some tooth, mix according to directions and apply. Use the Grey. Joe
