Can I use it to fix a pin hole in my gas tank? Do I have to drain my gas tank to do the repair?

I never try it before, but if you want use it to resolve your tank problem, i think you have to drain the gas tank before, for a better result.

I had a crack on the top of my garden tractor fuel tank that has held for quite some time. A Kubota dealer would not service the tractor unless I had the fuel tank replaced (several hundred $'s). I used J-B Weld, sanded it and painted it. Not only has it solved the problem; but the dealer never noticed it was repaired!

J-B Weld did not work for me when there was any liquid present. I believe that whatever you're repairing needs to be clean and dry while the epoxy sets.

Try Seal All. I had a rock puch a hole in my gas tank, gas running out but Seal All fixed it. Fix was good for more than the 2 years that I kept the car.

Prob better to go through your gas first. Sounds like you have a rusty tank tho. It'll def work for your problem

You could drill a hole (any size) but you will have to have an insert to glue into the hole with a threaded plug inside and gasket to seal it up after each filling. If you leave the hole open or the plug leaks air, the water will all drain out. I'd look to a gas filler insert used on boat gas tanks as a potential. Google Boat Supplies or Mueller (they make gas tanks for boats). There may be other inserts you can find. Just has to seal TIGHT.

I would only use this once (Twice if it doesn't completely seal the leak, which what happened to my last car). Don't quote me on this, but you need to resurface the head if it is warped and you are planning on re-using it. Now is the problem a warped head, worn gasket or a crack head? That is what you need to find out first. Bar's leaks should be a temporary fix until the problem is resolved.

This is primarily used to seal old leaking gas tanks that are too hard to find or expensive to replace if you tank is new i would not go through the trouble.

I bought a half pint size for a 5 gallon motorcycle gas tank and had some left over, a pint might work but maybe need a quart ,tank had rust in it so put some nuts from bolts and shook it until it was clean worked nice

You would normally use the drain pin. Only time youe need to remove the clear housing is if it's visually dirty.

I doubt it. This is made to seal small pinhole type leaks, which it works well for. Cracks in metal flex with pressure and temperature and the crack will very quickly reappear. Could be a safety issue as well. If the tank can rupture due to the crack the sealant will not stop it. A good certified welder may be able to fix it right, but cracks are very hard to fix at the best. Go by the welder's judgment who will probably suggest to get a new or good condition used tank.

Yes. I had my gas co. hook mine to my 250 gal. propane underground tank. They tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator next to my house and installed a tamper resistant valve with a quick connect on it. I have run it this way. Works fine. Would highly recommend you get your gas co. to do this. They need to see if the high pressure line is big enough. To hook it up this way also voids the warranty.

I didn't have a good experience with this, but it was a water leak so there was some pressure. My concern about a gas tank is there will still be some pressure until the material it dries up and I don't know whether you'll be able to get a seal.

That's what it is made for. That's how I used it. Be wary of the pressure tank that you may order. They show a mounting bracket on top but it will not be on the tank.

I am not sure about that. You would have to ask a plumber. You have to have a licensed plumber to hook it up bc it is gas. At least that is the rule in this state.

If it is the pan I would say no. Need to use something like JB Weld. If its the gasket maybe, but only after cleaning off all the oil first.

Provided it creates enough gas pressure...but it could drain a #20 cylinder quickly...I would use a #30 or #40 tank.

Well, you can cut the fuel line between the valve and carburetor, and possibly adapt it with a drain valve, but mine line is pretty short. While I use gas stabilizer, that may not be sufficient and I would prefer to drain it completely. Randy's answer to siphon the tank and then run the generator dry seems like the best option to me.

Yes. Word of caution. Our tank was missing the gasket for the connection to the tank. I made one out of rubber door stripping. Without the gasket the tank is USELESS

If the white gasket will fit on top of the cover and you still have enough threads to get a good grip on the bottom of the gauge, I would use it. Unless, the top of your lid is threaded and then you can just thread it in, in this case you might be able to use a little bit of Teflon tape to lubricate the threads.

I know this is not your question, but I did get this to use on pin holes in the bottom of a coke cooler and I will say for this it did not work very well. All it would do is push through the hole even when it was a pinhole. I do know that if you call their number on their website they are great about answering questions. I did this many times.
