How to Repair a Leaking Gas Tank?

Hello there,

My gas tank is leaking. I have found the area and there seems to be no cracks and no holes. The area shows bare metal and when wiped clean with a rag... you can see the area instantley get wet again but the leaking is slow (1 drop per 10 seconds). It just randomly started doing that!

a few months ago... I had cleaned the tank, as it was rusted, then Kreemed it from the inside. I dont understand how it could penetrate through the Kreem material! and if so... why now?!

Should I re-Kreem it. will the new Kreem stick to the old Kreem?
What DO you recommend??? whats the correct process about repairing this tank?

Thanx

 

JB weld on the outside worked fine on my old XT

 

I had an old 750 Honda with a leak similar to that in the corner of the tank. I purchsed some gas tank repair that was a two-part epoxy that had to be mixed first. It worked very well and never did leak again. I found it at an auto parts store.

 

Another option is to have it brazed.Did it to several cracks that I caused,[don't ask how].Blend the brazing in with body filler and repaint.
