I have a 6 gallon tank for my '84 Johnson and one of the handles at the top has broken off somewhere in the distant past. The tank only had one handle when I bought the boat. (Pictures are below.) This missing handle isn't really a problem because I rarely take the fuel tank out of the boat, but I have recently noticed that the rivets that had held the missing handle in place are the source of a small fuel leak. I'm not sure if they are all leaking, but I do notice gas leaking from the tank near these rivets. Since they are on the top of the tank it's not really an issue, but if the tank is full of fuel and the fuel if sloshing around in transport small amounts of fuel will leak out of the tank.
Do you guys have any thoughts on how to fix this leak? I tried duct tape, but that really didn't work well. :LOL2: I have heard of people using JB Weld for pretty much anything, and I have some, but I have never used it on anything. Could this be a solution?
Thanks.
