JB TankWeld technique - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi,
I have a leak in my 20 year old steel blazer tank, its located behind the strap, about 3 inches up from the bottom (its on the side of the tank). It is a 1/16" round hole. I don't detect any other weak spots.

I'm going to attempt the JB TankWeld product. I'm contemplating tightening a small screw into the hole, tightening it down through the JB stuff before it cures and pressing JB over and around the screw head, or skipping the screw and just using JB.

Obviously this low in the tank, the patch will have gas sitting against it at all times.

Has anyone attempted this technique?

Ryan
