what is the best stuff to patch a hole in a petrol tank ?

Car body filler and one of these:

with a penny washer.

It worked for many years me when a scrote screwdrivered my tank.
You could use a sealant specifically intended for petrol but in my
case I didn't have any at hand.
That's better than my ideaÂ* plenty of those .... gonna try
THAT...thanks..the hole is big enough now

there you go all done by the wife.....

thanks fredxx

Glad to be of help.


Petro Patch. Never needed to use the modern "putty" but the old
fashioned "varnish" and fabric fixed many old British motor-bikes.

sure it did


As did concrete inside rusty cills and chassis sections, overpainted
with underseal. Those days have gone, thank god.
