Honda Leaking Petrol Tank.

Post by aryan57 » Sun Dec 20, 2015 11:57 am

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.

Hi I used Petseal many years ago & that worked well, you could also look at Slosh or Sureseal.

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.

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.

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.

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.
