Wheelhorse Wes 279 #1 Posted December 28, 2019 Could someone point me in the right direction for fixing the two piece gas tanks so do I have to buy that gasket off eBay or can I just use a gasket sealer I think it’s called permatex or something like that. or do I have to use both ...thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,077 #2 Posted December 28, 2019 I used a new gasket and sealed both sides of it with Yamabond 4. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 65,150 #3 Posted December 28, 2019 Beware of breaking those little screws off when disassembling the tank Wes! I used the KBS fuel tank sealer kit on Frank’s tank. It was welded shut first, but it would seal it surely without breaking the bolts loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,835 #4 Posted December 28, 2019 This stuff works wonders. I sacrificed a cheapo nylon fitting screwed into the hole to protect it and just a quarter cup will do the job. I let it run around the joining area by kinda rolling the tank until it wouldn't run anymore. It's important to have the tank clean and dry first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've used it in a few car/truck gas tanks and it worked well. I like that there's little waste with it. When you get done sloshing it around in the tank, the excess can be poured back in the container for later use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 65,150 #6 Posted December 28, 2019 Jonah that is an attribute that is not advertised with KBS product. It’s a one time use, active when it hits the air. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,138 #8 Posted December 28, 2019 @buckrancher Brian, just so you know, I went looking for that thread last week. I wanted to put it into the Reference section...where it should be. It is screwed up with all the Photo Bucket pictures. Do you still have all of those pictures on your computer?? Either you or I can go back and replace the Photo Bucket pictures. It will take some work, but this thread is worth it. Let me know. If you want to do it...Karl will have to give you the power to go back and edit that thread. For me to do it, I would need the pictures on a DVD or thumb drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
