Title: Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Dayton

I fixed a tank that way when it had a little drip kind of leak. This was on "Babe-The Blue Ox," my 1971 Ambo Brougham wagon that I drove from about 1984-1988. I used a sheet metal screw along with a fender washer backed by homemade  gaskets of soft leather on the bottom of both the screw and the washer. Put plenty of Silicone-Seal on both sides of the leather gaskets. I was afraid that the sheet metal screw would just pull through the weakened metal on the bottom of the tank, but it didn't. The repair cost me nothing--I had all the parts-- took less than an hour, and was still holding when I sold the car a couple years later.

> Anyone in Dayton yet. I would think someone is and they have their laptop with them. I know I was planning on leaving in about three hours. To beat the heat Until my gas tank went south. It is midnight now. I was looking at it tonight. Big sheet metal screw. Some permatex and I could be on my way. Damn it was tempting. With my luck it would start leaking 1/2 way up there and some idiot, like me, would throw a cigarette out the window and it would be the biggest blue flame you ever saw coming out the back of a car. Oh well see you up there Friday.
