Has anyone had a problem with fuel tank leaks? I was washing out my
tank today, getting ready for the installation step, when I noticed two
pin hole jets of water coming from the "weld" seam. Upon closer
inspection, I noticed that at each of the leak holes there was an air
bubble in the plastic with a thin skin of plastic over the bubble and,
of course, a hole in this thin area. Examining the rest of the seam
section, I found several other embedded air bubbles but these did not
have leaks (yet). Anyone else found this? I'm guessing it's repairable
with glass/epoxy. I wonder if any of those fuel leaks/smells some have
noticed could be due to this same problem. If anyone has experience
with repairing this type of defect, please let me know.
