Don't forget to remove the mast and run it parallel with the 12' surf so it coats the tops of the tanks, too. Toobin'!

Do it reeeealy?

Reply: There was an epoxy for fixing gas tanks I used maybe 20 years ago. got it at the autoparts store. A putty type you kneaded to mix.

It's still a patch though, Bill.

100 miles off shore is not the same as pulling over on the side of the road. And a few hundred gallons of fuel in the bilges pretty much ruins dinner.

Was on a 1973 Chevelle wagon. Worked for years. On the boat, when the top of the aluminum tank corroded, cost me $800 delivered from Coast-line in Washington state for a new 65 gallon tank.

.8 boat unit. Cheap for what you got.
