S14 Gas Tank repair!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So my tank has a crack in......

I'm holding off on dropping the tank until I get Sub frame bushings (local shop sells rears for 65$ Poly urethane inserts)

What Is good to use to repair a cracked gas tank and does it hold and how long does it last?

Honestly I would prob not even risk patching up a tank and would buy a new one or get a fuel cell. Not sure I would trust having the tank patched up though I havent had any experience with patching one in the past and whether or not it works well.

The OEM S14 Tanks are prone to problems like this
Darn Plastic tanks.
Reason why my S14 ended up with a cell in the trunk

Well I found a gas tank in orlando for 80$ I'm gonna haggle down to 50$ 55$ MAX!

So I'm prob gonna just spend 120 get the bushings and gas tank and do them at same time. might as well since sub frame is dropped.
