July 27, 200818 yr Hello mate, I repaired my tank with Arildite. depends where the crack is and how big it is.Mine was where the kickstart sits,tryed petrol patch but after a while it started to leak again,hope this helps.
July 28, 200818 yr There is a product called Plastex that works a treat. It comes in different colours, and the blue is not a bad match for Scorpa blue. it can be sanded and painted when dry. Their website is: Plastex You can also get it professionally plastic welded. The base material is a type of Nylon. Paul The Hell Team.
July 29, 200818 yr There is a two part plastic bonding developed for bumpers, mudguards and fairings, its also suitable for fuels. Its called B2. Mix it 50/50 and it goes of to the touch in about twenty minutes, leave it for 24hrs and you can sand and paint it. Its realy tough and normally prodces a fix stronger than the original nylon or plastics, sadly only in black. The only other solution I have used in the past and found it worked realy well on a fuel tank was fibreglass. More work and preparation but its pretty permanent. Edited July 29, 200818 yr by renegade
