    gas tank

    Hello everyone, my name is J.
    I have a honda 185s atc. It leak in the gas tank, when I pour gas in it, it drips slowly out on the right side. It doesn't seem to be a very big hole because it drips kind of slow, but is there anything I can do to repair this problem?

    gas tank trouble

    luda129, welcome aboard !
    i have done number of things to gas tanks to stop a rusted through spot.
    in order of cheapest - rough sand area clean + j.b weld shut or braze it shut.
    cream the inside of tank or replace it.
