45 forum posts 2 photos	Hi David There is a product on the market that seals motorcyle petrol tanks, its like a rubberised soultion available from ebay I have spoken to people who have used it before and they say its good, but very smelly as it is a 2 part sollution, mix it and swill it around the tank. I intend to use this as I want to put a steel tank on my sweet pea I hope this helps Nigel

If done properly, even if the tank/tender rusts away completely, it still won't leak. Just follow the instructions to the letter. Ian S C
