          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

            Dave, I would suggest one of the epoxy petrol tank repair scemes, such as the POR-15 Cycle Tank Repair Kit, or the Permatex Fuel Tank Repair Kit, there are proberbly a number of others out there. 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

              For a smaller tank two-part fuel proofer for model aircraft would do the job – it's probaly the same sort of stuff, essentially an epoxy varnish.

                Do a Google search for IsoFlex. It is a liquid rubber compound, ideally suited to sealing water tanks.
