    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey Guys is it possible to braze the entire bottom of a gas tank to fix the leaks?
 
Coating the tank will usuall fix small leaks. If it is really bad check with radiator shop about possibility of repair or locate another tank. Strip and repair by rad shop would also require repainting tank. If you try to fix it your self be very, very carefull, it can blow up in your face.

If you're just dealing with pin holes, JB weld works very well. I fixed one of my tanks that way about 3 years ago and no leaks since.
Doze.
 
if it isnt too bad find a buddy that can do a halfway decent weld (only after you let the tank dry for a couple days, and all the parts are removed, if he or she can weld good then they will have no prob welding and shaving down the tank but like it was said earlier it will probably need a paint job unless you like that burnt metal look.
 
If it just has tiny pin holes, you can just use tank sealer to seal the holes.
any good motorcycle shop sells it, the one I used to seal a frends tank was called "cream" liquid tank liner, it is used to seal pin holes, remove rust and seal it to prevent the tank from rusting again.
