Has anyone used JB weld on a leaky gas tank? I'm trying it in a pinch, when I got one of my tractors out today the tank started leaking and i don't have a spare tank, Any suggestions?? Thanks

My uncle used it on a old Wheel Horse a couple years ago and its still holding gas..so must be it works well..I know he took it off and cleaned the area real well..His was just a pin hole where the holding strap must have worn a spot through

I would try and solder it.. I used to use those Gas tank patch kits with the Fiberglass resin and never had any problems but the last one I used only lasted 6 months... I have heard of people using JB weld but I would make sure it's clean and make sure you let it cure good before using...

Fastpaul, I have an extra tank that came off an Allis B-210. It's a metal gas tank, in very good shape. If you're interested in it, PM me.

Fastpaul, Sure thing. :) If the show doesn't work out for you, I'll be happy to give it to you. The only thing I'd ask is a few bucks for shipping. Good luck in your search at the show. :)

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
