Rusty sieve urr i mean fuel tank
Permalink  
 

Hello peeps

My fuel tank is pretty leaky atm, looks like whoever had the bike before me put bolts which were too long to hold the plastics on nad has damaged the tank, its leaking.

 

Anyone know of some good ways to repair, i've tried the lame-o's choice of putting **** on the outside on the tank to try and patch it up, but, surprisingly that didnt work all that well

 

Cheers

Cool thanks for the replies chaps.
