Gas tank repair.
Looks like I need to do another one on the bottom of the gas tank on my
1978 Dodge van.I noticed a tiny drip drip drip.I jacked up the rear end and removed the gas filter from the gas line under there and I used a stainless steel box I have to catch the gas and then pour the gas into some five gallon cans.Tomorrow I will use some emery cloth to clean around the leaky area and I will patch the leak with fiberglass cloth pieces and two part epoxy resin for fiberglass for a lasting repair.Hey, that gas is Expensive nowadays and getting more expensive by the minute! Gas will probaally get up to over $4.50 per gallon,,, just in time for July 4th. cuhulin |

Gas tank repair.
I am in the process of hauling off a lot of scrap iron things I have
collected over many years.Right now my old van is loaded with metal that I need to take to the scrap iron yard this morning.I have a five gallon plastic boat gas tank that has a float gage built into the gas cap.Right now, I am trying to get by with the van's factory gas tank long enough to get all of my scrap iron hauled off.Then I am going to fix up the boat gas tank. cuhulin |

there was a guy who jumped out of an airplane and his parachute didn't
open. As he was falling down he noticed a guy coming up real fast. So he asked him. Do you know anything about parachutes. The guy said no, do you know anything about gas tank repair. That wasn't you chu chu was it? |

I have used fiberglass epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth to repair my
van's gas tank about four or five times before over the years.Sometimes a new leak pops up.There are no leaks where I have repaired them before.Parachutes? I don't know much about parachutes. cuhulin |

Gas tank repair.
There are thieves going around and stealing gas nowadays.I will replace
my van's gas tank sooner or later, with a plastic five gallon boat tank.When I do that, I can lift the boat tank out of my van and store the tank in my storage shed.I have gotten to where I bring my van battery inside of my house when I am not useing my van.Those thieves around here will steal anything. cuhulin |
