Hi guys, thanks in advance for any ideas! :thumbsup:
I recently picked up a gas tank from a Honda QA50 for my Baja Warrior.
It appears to be in good shape, not rust inside or anything but where the fuel valve neck goes into the body of the tank, it appears that it may have been dropped or something at one point so the base of the neck where it joins the body has a leak. I determined this by putting soap solution around the valve and base and blowing into the valve and I saw lots of bubbles.
Is the best way to fix this by cleaning off as much paint in the area and then using JB weld? Any other suggestions?
Since it's leaking, before doing any repair I was going to try to straighten out the valve some, hopefully not ripping it out completely! :doah:
Attached is a pic of the tank. You can see how it slants forward. I think it's supposed to go straight down.
Thanks!
