Eh, you worry too much about cosmetics. When I put the first good

I did that with my last truck for 17 years. Now I want PURTY for at

Eh, I'm still driving that "real" truck some 11 years later. When I
finally get that shiny new F550 to replace it, I'll try to keep it shiny
and purty... for at least 90 days

I must admit that I'm ready to start punching holes in mine, but on
the -inside-, TYVM. I picked up another set of speakers yesterday, and
I removed the stake hole covers to insert my tiedowns.

I also need to find a good profile of extruded aluminum channel for
inside the bed. The deck rail and tiedown stuff they have is beaucoup
expensive and I don't have any firstborns to sacrifice to them.
http://www.brandsport.com/toy-pt271-34070-hw.html is cheaper than the
dealer, but that's not saying much.

Anyone seen any extrusions which might work for me? Who has a good
selection of aluminum channel profiles at dirt cheap prices?

If I were at home up north, I could have saved a lot of it..but down

Ah, outstanding profile. Steel, probably better than aloonimum due to

Not for a 1/4" hole. Get a toggle bolt and a fender washer, and a
THICK neoprene washer. Shape the fender washer to fit the form of the
tank. Might want to slop some Permatex Aircraft (no n hardening)
gasket sealer onto both sides of the neoprene washer before
tightening. I believe it is now loctite #30516.
Or use TiteSeal (T25-66)

Of course not for a big hole like that but as a sealer for whatever patch or

A friend who was "too friendly with the natives" got himself a good
dose of the "crabs" back in the seventies in Africa.
He was bemoning his condition and asked for a remedy.
I told him to swab himself with parafin( not the wax, that smelly
varsol/kerosene like stuff that is used as lamp fuel abont other
things in the third world.

Next time I saw him he almost killed me - but I asked him "did it
work"? He answered yes.
"Will you be careless enough to catch then again, knowing the remedy?"
He answered "HELL NO!!!!"

Oh yes, I probably caused at least 3 species to go extinct.

Which minor, useless species? Druggies, thieves, and liberals?


Used car salesmen, lawyers and politicians?

Since you mention only one hole, does that mean the bullet is still in the
tank? If so, I'd just leave it there.


Nah..Ive never shot my own vehicle. Well..there was one time I was
shooting ground squirrels and I let the barrel drop a bit much while
shooting from a ridge line. that 1.5" distance between the bore and
the cross hairs did me in. Put a neat groove on the very edge of the
hood.

Gunner

I skipped a .223 slug off the hood using the hood as a rest. The
distance between the scope line of sight and the bullet path is kind of
significant 3 feet from the muzzle...

In reference to the original problem, I would not recommend
epoxy/fiberglass. I tried that on an old Dodge van that I had and it
only held for a few weeks. I finally wound up brazing a patch on it.

Good Luck,
Bob

good old soft solder will be best - if you want more strength, you can screw
the patch in place and solder over the screws - two or 3 screws will be
enough

Naw ! That'd cause all them latent Brae-pit dino eggs to hatch.

Hmm ... you want some challenging hunting? There you are.
Something to justify that .475 A&M Magnum you have and have never been
able to find something appropriate to hunt with it. :-)

Enjoy,

That little pistol - just about right for the Black Forest boar they have
on the central coast! They have been running free from much for years and
were imported for game hunts by a large news paper owner...

Pistol? That was a *rifle* wildcat, 10,000 ft-lbs muzzle energy.
The kick was said to be really punishing*. _Cartridges of the World_
(quite a few years ago -- 30+ I think) said "There is absolutely no need
for a cartridge of this power for hunting anything on this planet." :-)

* Firing two or three shots rapid fire was said to be equivalent
to going a similar number of rounds with a world heavyweight
champ. :-)

I forget what cartridge it was based on, but I don't have one
anyway. They *did* suggest that to go one better, you would need to
base it on the .50 machine gun round. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.

I hit a bit of road debris coming home from a job site last night,
made a hell of a noise, and after I got home and parked, found it had
punched a hole about 1/4" in diamter in the front tank (freshly
filled) right next to a strap. Stuck a screw in..too small, stuck a
lag bolt in..too small, hammered in a wooden plug. Reduced it to a
drip.

Not a lot of fun running the garden hose to flush the gas out from
under the truck, and laying in the mess trying to get the leak
stopped, in 40F weather...

I dont want to pull this tank. Gonna be a MOFO to do.

What products are out there that will allow me to simply patch over
the top of the 1/4" stubb of wood plug sticking out? Or do I need to
pull the plug (after running the tank dry?)

Gunner

JB weld works on a clean, dry surface, but I would remove the wood plug and
replace with a metal plug. Or fill the tank with inert gas and solder/weld
it shut. You firstg.
