[JasonC]

JB weld a penny over hole.

this here works too.

Since he already has the JB weld its damn near free too!

[Kershaw]

why would a penny work that much better?

it's not a good seal like a needle or screw?

[der affe]

Drain the gas, then do this ^^^

It's just simpler, not necessarily better. Really easy to find a penny laying around. Cover it in JB weld, stick it over the hole. Job done.

or you could just weld it for real

probably because it has gas in it.

...and that's how the sarcastic winking smiley works from an iPhone.

Honest answer-- I would replace the tank.

Self tapping screw with nylon washer and JB weld for good measure. Since we're getting creative with it.

[MattAvino]

My initial idea was to plug it with a small sheetmetal screw then jb weld over that.

I bought some of that gas tank putty today...tomorrow will be the test. It's been curing since noon.

Saw your car today, looked like it was taking a leak.....lol

[Joe G]

Haha it was. Hopefully I've plugged it.

I used to use ivory soap on my old lowrider olds that I let the tank down on a curb once. would have to go back over it every now and then. I tried to JB weld the tank in my M tech II car years ago, It held for a few months and just rusted in other places. Ended up just replacing it-- and that is a crappy job.

be a baller and use a silver dollar instead of a penny.
