Punched a hole in my gas tank last night
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 |
