Pushing it back into place with Epoxy Araldite . Then add a dribble of caswells fuel tank sealer to settle around the internal pet cock area and this will help to stop the petrol getting under the araldite. This should last a good while.

Hi

This seems to be a weak point on these tanks.

I made a small rectangular backing plate (from 5mm mild steel plate) to fit inside the tank on the flat

area where the petrol tap sits - two outer holes, drilled and tapped M6 at centres to suit the tap mounting

screws and a central elongated clearance hole for the filter.

Make up a new O ring seal for the tap.

Just drill, clear out the tank brass insert arrangement and pop the plate inside the tank line up the holes - petrol tap

to backing plate and tighten up.

A couple of years later - not the hint of a weep.

Regards

Sparks
