Hi all, I understand you can buy something to stop tanks leaking? I've just fitted a long range tank but it has a slight leak n one of the seams.

Any recommendations please?

Cheers :fb:

If its not been used, would it be better to have it welded? By the place which supplied it? It could be fibreglass or secondhand I suppose. Recently discussed:

tbh .. i find tank seal to be a last resort solution .. if its new send it back .. second hand then far better to get it welded

This I what I used a while back Russ, http://www.frost.co.uk/por15-tank-sealer-473ml.html

As advised already get it welded it will only get worse.

I used this stuff that lasted for 18 months

Then I got it welded - same chap that supplied it - top fella did it FOC!

I would weld as well , but if it's new I would return !

Cheers Guys, it is new so I'm gonna return it once my other one turns up. That will teach me to buy cheap off eBay!

Good idea

Is it 1 of the stainless standard looking long range tanks? IE with the lip? I've seen a lot of these including my own, and all had cracks or some other defect. As others have already said, welding is the best permanent solution, preferably TIG.
All but 1 had cracks in the tank where the fuel tap thread is fitted. I took 1 back to a dealer only to be offered 2 more with the same defects, so I got a refund. I then bought a second hand 1 for half the price and repaired it.
