is there anyway i can temp patch it up till i get a new one!!?!?!!

 

[binnzie]

anyone!!!

i think you can buy fuel tank patches. check at a motor factors.

that would do temporarily. why does it have a hole? has it rusted through or has something punctured it?

if its rust i would just replace it. if its been punctured you could get it welded, or replace.

How big is the hole? If it's consistently dripping then I can really think of anything beyond possibly something rubber that will block the hole without immediately coming off again.

Pencil eraser + duct tape?

 

[binnzie]

its punctured. i dont know how its happened, but i noticed it this morning.

If it's a round hole, put some silicone sealant onto a self tapping screw and screw it in

go to b&Q and see if they have "CT7" its a sealant/adhesive that holds on wet surfaces and is extremely strong. bout £8 a mastic tude tho. needless to say you get these in builders merchant but they wont be opened so b&Q might do it

[binnzie]
