2008-09 C14 tank
« on: February 15, 2025, 11:31:21 AM »
Anybody have a tank, preferably in '08 Silver?  After all these years mine has developed the rust pinhole that sprays fuel under the seat.

If it's just a pinhole you might want to consider coating it.  Small holes can be taken care of with some of the coating systems out there.

This is the one I used on my 78 Z1R TC and my 99 C10.  Neither leaked but both had some rust.

I have a neptune blue 2010 tank. Not sure where you're located.

Request retracted.  I was skeptical it would bond, but Permatex has worked well so far.  After cleaning up the rust, there were 3 pinholes along the weld seam under the foam pad.
