    Product sealer for tank leak?

    I have a small weeping leak on my classic Triumph Tank which has a combination of steel, and fibreglass gel coat.
    Is there a product out there that will seal from the inside???

    Go for Por 15 for sure. I have done about five tanks now and it is fantastic. FOLLOW the instructions and you will get a perfect result.

    Cheers

    Totally agree with NAR RG500.
    My tank was leaking badly and even after getting it welded up there were still weeps. Was recommended POR, tried reading the instructions for the first time ever and it worked perfectly

    Turned out to be a minute crack on the outside where the undertank was rubbing the frame tank mount. Soldered crack, then soldered a small piece of copper over fix, sanded & painted. Trimmed up mount to reduce possibility of rubbing. All good now.

    Umm... what about galvanic corrosion?
