    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.

Petcock not sealing to tank

I just received my repaired fuel tank, and installed it to verify no leaks. There was a slight leak around the petcock mating surface which appears to be caused by a small amount of warpage (you can feel thast it is not 100% flat). Any suggestions for leveling the surface, or a sealant that would hold up to constant exposure to gasoline? Thanks.
 
You have to make sure it is not leaking through the bolt threads, they are through holes and leak unless new special cork/paper washers are used when mounting. You can use Loctite 515 gasket eliminatior, it works great on threads and surfaces; gas does not effect it.

Hope this helps,

Andre
 
mine was leaking through the bold threads. A little (blue!) loctite did the trick!
 
You may want to look for Hylomar polyurethane sealant. I don't know if it is widely available, but Pingel sells it. It works.
