Gas tank leakage
 

Well, I have figured out that the gas tank is now leaking a pretty fair amount on the 123. My bud said he'd fix it for $10. Is that a fair price or can I get a kit for cheaper? I need to fix this before I continue working on 123. Thanks, Kyle.:BangPC::bash2:

If he knows what he's doing, $10 is more than fair! I know a guy (me) who tried to solder one a few years ago and it still had fumes in it. It blew!! Fortunately, I was standing off to the side when it went past at crotch height about 100 MPH. Ya, 10 bucks is cheap!! :American Flag 1:

I have a fuel tank leaking on my generator and was thinking about putting some JB water weld on it.

He has fixed a few of his simplicity tractors gas tanks. So if its a good deal I think I will let him do it. I also think he uses the water weld stuff. I don't know forsure though. And Aroostook, it's a good thing you were away from there. Now you know how to make a rocket lol

I have brazed metal gas tanks. Wash it out, soap and water. Then wash it out again, and again.

FWIW JB Weld doesn't seem gas resistant in my opinion. I have had to fix 3 tanks with leaky JB Weld repairs.

Brazing is your best bet, JB will not work very long.

I guess it depends on where the leak is... I've never had to fix a leak that wasn't in a solder joint, and for those I always just re-solder them.
