Is JB Weld fuel proof?

    I have a leaky, rusty tank I am trying to get a few more years of life out of.

    A previous owner (Jack :p) had braised up the tank, but I don't want to use heat because I'm afraid it might "cook" the kreem lining on the insides.

    TIA

    Yep. I used to endurance race with a guy who had an EX500 composed largely of JB Weld, including the tank.

    James,

    There is also a gas-tank specific bonding compound that comes in a putty form in a small plastic cylinder. I think I got it at the local AutoZone. I've used it to patch pinhole leaks in the tank of a Triumph Spitfire.

    Well the holy tank is now caked in JB Weld so you're a litttle late. Thanks anyway. I'll keep that in mind if I need to do another or the JB fails on this on.

    Dang, you're a fast worker. I usually procrastinate for weeks on jobs like this :)

    Its the wife's custom painted tank and my shop is too small and filled with too many other projects for (yet another) deadlined bike to be cluttering up space...
