    Seal the tank with Red Kote, it will never leak again.

      If it's clean inside, you have to wait at least 30 days after paint to apply redkote. You can buy it on your own and do it. The ham-fisted monkeys at a radiator shop could make it worse.

          You should be able to fill the leak no problem. Search around for what you want to use on it and roll with it.

            I just painted the tank....nothing special, just my first paint job, ill wait until the week of Born Free to line it, most of the options were basically strip the tank and start over to resolder the area. Ill try the red kote.

            Thanks for the help.

              Not to jump on some ones thread. I got a tank had to modify to hit and it has a few pinholes that wont seal. Needs to be cleaned out as well. Plus may have to do some more cutting and welding so want to seal it good once and be done!!!
