I changed the fuel tank on my RN today for the correct one (someone had fitted a round one) which came with the car when I bought it. There is a small weep on the outlet where it joins the tank. I have seen Slosh tank sealer advertised ,does it work ? as I said it is only a weep not gussing out so guess it might

yep, the stuff works, I used the stuff from

http://www.completeautomobilist.com, my tank had a hole in it!

Works well and seals the rust in as well

Just make sure that wherever you buy your tank sealer from, they confirm it is resistant to modern unleaded petrol - some tank sealers aren't and fail in due course. If you can find an epoxy based sealer, this won't be a problem.

Hello Kerbut,

The POR ("Paint Over Rust") people do a very good fuel tank sealant which is listed as item S208 in the latest "Frost" catalogue (www.frost.co.uk) but it is pretty "pricey" - Forty -four quid sterling for the kit, which includes cleaning preparations as well as the treatment.

Your other option would be to get a quote from your local radiator repairman for a good cleanout and proper soldering repair.

I used the "Complete Automobiliste" kit many years ago in a Morris Bullnose tank. Worked OK but I am not too sure how it goes with modern fuels as I have heard suggestions of difficulties.

Regards

I ran my 7 on unleaded for 3 years with no problems with the complete automobilist stuff.

Thanks for the replys,I will order some on Tuesday.Happy New Year
