I have to suggest keeping your eyes on this guys and girls. I have a nice big paint bubble next to the filler I need to take care of over the winter. It was actually filled with fuel at one point. Of course, it was probably the result of the custom paint job, but regardless.....

I had a bubble in the paint on my yamaha gas tank. Custom paint job too I might add.
Hubby decided to pick off the bubble. I'm just gonna say if it ain't broke don't fix it.haha. Gas started leaking out all over the place. I have heard you can take the tank off and put this epoxy in and it will fix the leak. Anybody know if that is a good idea or not??

Reply #16 - 08/06/08 at 08:09:16 I've been told it's better to repair the tank from the inside (sealer). I'm not sure why. I did try to repair one of our Rupp mini-bike tanks from the outside and it didn't last very long.
