Just would like to know best way to fix this without taking it out and getting it welded. Was going to try some j-b stik on it .Leak is a pin hole on bottom of tank.

knead it steel, first I reckon. drain the tank and give the surrounding area a good sand then smack it with a ball hammer so you have a little cavity to fill up with the knead it.

If the knead-it doesn't work, it may be better to look into another tank rather than to get your one welded up, as a pin hole could be indicitive of bigger problems, such as thin steel due to rust.

Araldite works fine for petrol tanks

A cake of slightly soft yellow sunlight soap makes a good temporary repair.

That sounds about as permanent as the schit that sticks to John Key

Thanks for that have done temporary fix with soap. It looks like pervious owner has used some kind of red gasket like glue on it.was trying to avoid emptying tank so may take it out anyway and get it looked at. Thanks everyone for your help:)

Chewing gum is a good temp repair, sets hard when in contact with petrol, or at least it used to!
