Long bolt punctured fuel tank How to fix?

[PoorMansGtr]

Just purchased a r32 gts4 and have discovered a fuel leak due too a bolt the was too long being used to fasten the fuel pump cradle and puncturing the fuel tank + pushing the O ring seat down by the bolt hole in question. Is there any known ways to deal with this issue?

 

cheers

Gorilla snot. (otherwise known as knead-it, or other metal filled epoxy putties).

Like above, you could also try Steelstick, made by the JB Weld folks. It's like play-dough and can be had at most any store with a hardware section.

A another solution would be to weld a patch over the hole.

Yes, but, my impression was that anyone who would ask how to repair a fuel tank should not be told to weld it.

In that case, good old Hubba-bubba

Weld it

When we used to weld fuel tanks - taken off the vehicle - fully drained -  left to dry out for a day or 2 - connect them to the exhaust pipe of another car and fill 'em with carbon monoxide for about an hour or so and - then have the courage to start welding
