Title: help with sealing a gas tank
Post by: yorkie on August 12, 2010, 03:32:53 PM: Hi I cut open a tank to baffle it then welded the top back on, the welds seem fine and hold water. I would like to put some sealant over the welds just incase. Has anyone heard of 3M 5200 for this or is there any sealer I can buy at auto parts store or home depot? I'm just not sure what to look for.

Post by: HiProfile on August 19, 2010, 11:54:06 PM: Depending on the vehicle, it's either terne (80% LEAD, 20% tin), or a 50/50 zinc & tin coating.

So this n00b may need some help doing a proper n00b intro, as there may be lead poisoning causing some stupidity.
