Leaking fuel tank

[siiirhd88]

Try running a bar of soap over the area of the leak. Since most soaps are not effected by the fuel, some of the soap bits might seal up the opening, even temporarily. I have used it to seal leaks that have held for years, but not on a double layer Rover fuel tank, as it will just leak from under the bottom layer somewhere else.

Well, considering as the Land Rover is probably more of a hobby and learning experience than a form of transportation, my time is not of a great consequence. I'm going to attempt the patch repair for the short term which is a slightly smaller hurdle while I am trying to get it running an inspected. It's only been on the road under its own power once in the last decade, and that was only long enough to turn it around and get it into my garage. At the time the only way to stop the vehicle was to use the transmission brake.

Knowing how these things are, if it lasts until summer, I'll be quite happy. That of course implies that I have it road ready by then.
