Eek! track day next sunday and just spotted fuel leaking from bottom of tank. Its rotted from the inside out, its a midget one I think (as supplied by Peter Powell).
I guess the best thing to do is get an ally one made up with swirl pot etc, BUT I have a track day next weekend and another the week after!
I know there are repair kits available - anyone got any BTDT's?

Thanks
Alex

you can buy a tube of stuff called tank repair which is like chemical metal but is specifically for fuel tanks


i have used this before and it works well
