I'm not that familiar with R33 tanks. Plastic? Up behind the rear seat between the towers? Or under the boot floor like a normal car? It's the battery that's up between the towers isn't it? So, plastic tanks. Well, um. The obvious reco is plastic welding, which you'd only look at asking someone who's really good at to contemplate trying. The fuel contamination and grot is probably going to make it quite difficult though. Whether plastic or steel - the end of the crack will want to be drilled before any welding or sealing is done. Otherwise it will just continue to wander along until something bad happens. Steel tank? The obvious answer is drain, wash, purge with inert gas and drill the crack end and weld/braze/silver solder/whatever the guys who do that to fuel tanks recommend. I had a crack/hole/leak in the bottom of a Commodore tank (oe was it my ALFA? - can't remember) that I slammed some gorilla snot onto and it never leaked again. It worked surprisingly well. Or, it's time to fab a new tank.

I personally haven't been in this situation, however have repaired a cracked radiator using JB Weld and held up until I could replace it with a Honda Accord years ago. Maybe @GTSBoy might have a sound strategy? -
Hi Dose, I know you'll be reading this thread. Brake pads are going good mate thanks. Anyway, pulled the 33 fuel tank out today because we were limited to a disgusting 480hp on the old fuel pump setup. On pulling the tank, I found the cracks in the photo (I don't think they're leaking, but fuel evaporates quick so hard to tell). What's the best way to repair, or is their a new tank alternative? Thank you.
