Mine all of sudden sprouted 2 holes. Not big holes, but enough to have gas pouring out (and of course I just used my last 30 to fill it up). Most places I called were like, o no, no one can fix, you'll have to buy a new one for $400. Finally found a radiator place that'll fix it, but I have to remove the tank, so I had to have Hibdon do it, and they didn't have the right stuff to salvage the gas, but they were going to do what they can. And now I have to find a truck to get it to said shop. ****!





O ya, it's costing me about 200 all together, at least that's the estimate.

filling the tank with redbull will stop the leaks.







On a serious note: You can do it yourself if the holes arent too big. POR, and other places seal a "sloshing compund" to coat the tank
