I'm working on a 01 Silverado right now. The guy drug the plastic tank pretty bad. Whenever I filled it up with gas, its leaking barely. I was wondering if there is anything I can patch it with. I thouhght I read in a truck magazine that there is a resin that fixes them. Anybody know if that's true.

they also make a two part putty crap that once you kneed together it gets rock hard, specific to patching fuel tanks.

werd. i have tried everything in the world and they didnt work for crap

BUT rubbing a bar of soap on it fixed it pretty darn good. I even rolled with that fix when it was raining and it didnt leak.
