Mutter. Blasphemy. Profanity. Why am I jinxed

[Ixion]

Blurdy Hell, everything seems to be crapping out on me. Mrs Ixions dishwasher blew up, the cage has bollocked all it electrics (don't ask, just don't ask). Now , to cap it off, Li'l Rat Bike has let me down! He's sprung a leak in the petrol tank ! Only a little one - but it's a hole all right not just a dud gasket or seal.

Not only is brazing up fuel tanks tedious work, it will also ruin his pretty paint work :cry: :cry: :cry:

Blasphemy. Profanity. Obscenity. I'm gonna go off and sulk now and feel sorry for myself.

Someone remind me about people who have real problems.

I kicked my toe, does my pain suffice in making you feel better?

But seriously shit always happens at once, and at the worst times possible - just live on it will work out good and something good will happen in time...

[Ms Piggy]

It's all relative mate. Life sucks for you at the moment, wether you are "worse off" or "better off" than others is irrelevant...of course that doesn't make it any easier! Hang in there :niceone:

[Blackbird]

Mr Ixion.....none of this would have happened if your rat bike had been a "she". You only have yourself to blame. The God(dess) of motorcycling can wreak terrible vengeance for such an oversight.

The only way out is to call your bike "Christine".

May this remove your blues before the weekend :niceone:

From what I've heard you deserve all you got....and there's more to come.My cat was talking to your cat the other day - apparently you have been a bit lax in your duties.It's time you changed your cat food,he's getting real pissed off with that crunchy shit,how about something recently dead? At 4.00am when he wants to get outside he means now ,not when you stumble out of bed and stagger to the door,hey and to top it off you stood on his tail when he was sitting patiently in front of the fridge.

Just thought I'd let you know what's being said about you on the streets....

Oh,and put a tank liner in.

Hey dude, they do say these things come in threes, right? So now only good things can happen right? :confused:

Life can suck big time, but hey at least your still alive and able to ride ah!! Hope you have a good weekend mate without anymore woes. :Punk:

Why would he want to name his bike after my doris? :whistle:

Stephen King, novel of the same name, evil car. Don't blame me if SK called it that. Maybe it was named after his ex :laugh:

Saw the movie, maybe I should have added it was a (PT)!

That has just reminded me ... a few years back a mate of mine pulled into my driveway in his big Holden and we noticed his petrol leaking from a hole about 3mm across in the bottom of his tank. Long story short ... we fixed it after draining the tank (yeah Ok ... it was now a self draining tank ... thank goodness for all those jars in the garage) with some stuff we bought from the local service station. Probably won't do much for the paint job but it'll keep the fuel where it's supposed to be.

Blu tack

Blu tack

Aren't most Holden utes fitted with BluTack and a cross head screw?

Well, at least the one's I've seen running around the WestCoast are.

Was that your mangey moggy hanging around the other day ? The one I threw a stone at ? Ruddy little spy, wait till I catch him. Then there will be something recently dead!

On the subject of liners, have you had good experiences of them? I have always found chemical gunks disappointing. Bronze I trust, but it does bugger the paintwork. And it is tedious preparation (being a coward I prefer not to be exploded ).

[Motu]

As someone else mentioned the Por15 is the best tank liner,you can get a kit with chemicals,but I just use Jenolite,a hair dryer to dry the tank and pour in the liner.I bought a 1 litre tin of tank liner 6 yrs ago and have treated several tanks,lined my partwash drum a couple of times and still have some left.I like to repair first with the bronze too,then seal pin holes with the liner - but these days I lean towards just pour it in!

My cat came home the other night putting on more of an act than Sete Gibberingnow...he reckons someone threw a stone at him - you're a marked man....

[scumdog]

Smear soap over the hole then slap a patch of bog over it to hold it in place :niceone:

I DID A TEMORARY REPAIR WITH ARALDITE AND IT WAS STILL OK 5 YEARS LATER, IF THE HOLE IS TO BIG KNEAD IT MIGHT WORK

Thanks. I might give Araldite a try. Silly thing is its a little dead end at the bottom of the tabk which is only there for aesthetic reasons. Thanks for the input.

Hmmmm so I take it that you are now the nice man who washes and drys the dishes in your house AGAIN..... hehehehe.

So now you will have really soft hands and fingers after soaking them in the lovely water... hehehehehe.

No No No ,do what the man sez
If you have one pinhole already,the'll be 20 more just waiting to pop through from the inside.The POR15 kit will remove most of the rust,coat and etch the steel with zinc phospate,and the sealer will be absorbed and seal any remaining rust as well as coating the clean steel.
No I don't work for them. :niceone:

No, I meant araldite as an alternative to brazing. Inside treatment is an option regardless of how I plug this actual hole.

I'm just trying to find out if anyone has had success with these chemical treatments. In the past I've been disappointed with things like RadWeld. But, I dare say those fiendishly clever chemists have improved things nowadays (BTW, very clever people chemists. Good looking too. And very good lovers. Ladies take note.Kind and sensitive also in a very masculine way If you are lucky enough to meet a chemist, be sure to buy him a beer. Or several, Speights is best)

[scumdog]

Those POR15 type "sloshing" compounds are just the cats vaginas, always done the trick for me :niceone:
