So I managed to punch a hole in the lower half of my gas tank (1990 XJ) on the weekend. It is larger than a pinhole but not a gash by any means. Crossing some deactivations on the weekend my tailpipe hit the ground and that pushed the ubolt hanger into the tank and made a small hole. It was a glancing blow, not like the ubolt punched right through. The trip was totally worth it though.
Anyway, I found this Permatex gas tank repair and it seems like it is intended to be a permanent repair, as opposed to a 'temporary, get me home' type thing.
Any experiences with it? I can get a new tank for about $205 Can but the way I am wheeling these days it might just be cheaper to patch the old one and keep some of that Permatex handy.
