Repairing gas tank???

[scottgrissom]

I recently purchased an 18 ft. Wellcraft. The previous owner warned me of the leak in the gas tank. It is a 40 gal. fiberglass gas tank. Is it ok to patch up a fiberglass tank? I’ve heard that these tanks seem to leak after a long period of time. Any suggestions? Thanks<br />Scott

RSDG,<br /><br />Definately replace it! I replaced mine with a Tempo Plastic, rated for Gasoline and Diesel. <br /> Tempo Plastic Tanks <br /><br />Don't mess around like "tashasdaddy" said BOOM, sometimes big boom! Fuel vapor in bildge, spark, very bad!<br /><br />Peace.<br /><br />Ed.

another good option is to put a bladder in it.
