Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.
My Honda Motor Bike has a leaking petrol tank. So far I have had no success at repairing it. I have tried Araldite, JP Weld and Granville Petro Patch. All leak again after a week. My lack of success is driving me nuts. There must be something out there that will do the trick. Looking for recommendations. The bike is thirty years old and so far I have not been able to locate a new tank.

Re: Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.
Hi I used Petseal many years ago & that worked well, you could also look at Slosh or Sureseal.

Re: Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.
Is it leaking on a seam and is the cause corrosion? I've had some success with the Granville stuff away from seams, but any leak on a seam is going to be nigh on impossible to fix.

Re: Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.
also try "frost auto products " they do a tank sealer, i have used it on a pontiac fuel tank and it lasted a few years and was still okay when i sold the car.

Re: Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.
when I first bought the sunbeam it was leaking around the fuel outlet pipe. Took it off and got it brazed. that was over a decade ago and its still fine.

Re: Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.
Practical Classics usually reccomend this stuff:

Never used it myslef mind.
I have had limited success with petro-patches etc and have so far had replacement tanks on both my Allegro and Maxi for leaks.

Re: Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.
Thanks gentlemen, all recommendations gratefully received and noted. The tank slopes down to the rear and I am guessing that water , being heavier than petrol, has settled out in this part of the tank when the bike was not used for a time and has caused the internal rusting. The holes are not on a seam. Both sides of the tank have gone but just one area has proved reluctant to seal. I think brazing may be the way to go. But only after draining the tank and thoroughly purging it of petrol fumes.
