etc

 

 

anyone used this kind of product successfully?

 

i do like the idea of spending a tenner max and sorting my leaky tank rather than £30 or so for another old one or £150 odd for a new one (if i can find one)

well good old dum dum seems to have done the job for now but i'm thinking one of these products is probably going to be better long term

If it has the same chemicals in it as 30yrs ago when I last used Petropatch, it stopped a Dolomite tank leaking for 2yrs until the engine expired.

update:

 

 

dum dum has pretty much been turned to a sticky black liquid by the leaking petrol (after my test fill up of the tank) so that's not a solution

 

 

i shall purchase petropatch or something and give it a go with that but until then i'm only going to fill up half the tank i reckon, doesn't leak then as it's just at the very top
