Fuel tank

Another update, Top hat has been made and fitted using JB Weld Marine and has had petrol in for three days and all well so far!! Some pics just to give the general idea of how it was accomplished, Pic 1 is the prototype, 2 shows the 6mm bolt with thin wire used to feed it into place through the filler and pulled into place, pic 3 shows the top hat used and bonded in, last shot shows the finished job, hope that makes sense,regards Kenny.

  well done. If it's got a good key and cured properly it should be good. Fingers crossed and hoping for some  to give it a good

1st morning here.  I the tank on my '98 Steamer has sprung a leak near one of the fixing bolts.  It must be a very fine crack.  Do you think JB Weld Marine will sort it out?

get the captive nut out (carefully)
fill hole with marine weld
put some grease on bolt and screw onto the nut then push into the hole
unscrew the bolt when it starts to harden but before it sets and leave for a couple of days
