Eliminates dangerous welding. Complete kit contains everything required for making professional-quality permanent repairs in just minutes. Includes state-of-the-art components and easy-to-follow instructions with photographs to make quick permanent repairs to leaks in all types of metal fuel tanks. It repairs cracks up to 4” (10cm) long and holes up to 3/8” (9mm) in diameter. Repair will be complete when the resin cures in 30 minutes.
Tank may be refilled after 30 minutes or when the repair is tack free. The repair resin is designed to harden within 8 10 minutes and cures in 30 minutes. Repairs can be made ideally at temperatures from 50°F to 75°F (10°C to 24°C).
Repairs made at lower temperatures will take longer to cure. Repairs can be made on slow leaking cracks up to 4 inches in length and holes up to 3/8 inch in diameter. (THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR USE ON PLASTIC FUEL TANKS). NOTE:THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR USE ON PLASTIC FUEL TANKS. The repair resin is designed to begin to harden within 8 10 minutes and cures in 30 minutes. Read all directions before beginning repair.

Repairs can be made on slow leaking cracks up to 4 inches in length and holes up to 3/8 inch in diameter. Remove gas cap to vent tank. Make sure there is adequate ventilation. If leak is large, drain tank or reduce liquid level to at least 2 inches below the damaged area.
Prepare damaged area by removing any oil, grease, tar or dirt, etc. From repair area. A. Sand the affected area to at least 1 inch beyond the damage.

Clean area with alcohol swab. B,C. Break off the appropriate size piece of putty and place over the leak. D. Cut the fiberglass cloth to fit within the sanded area. The resin must be mixed and applied in less than 8 minutes as the resin will begin to harden. Mix the resin as follows: Burst the seam that separates the two materials by applying pressure to one side.
Knead the contents of the pouch back and forth until the mixture is of uniform color (mix for 2 minutes maximum). Cut off the top of the pouch and dispense some of the resin mixture onto the damaged area. Spread the resin mixture in a uniform layer with the supplied brush onto the area to be covered by the fiberglass. (Note: The material will become warm to touch.) E. Place the fiberglass over the resin covered area.
Spread the remaining mixture over the fiberglass until it is completely saturated. F,G. Taper the edges of the repair area beyond the fiberglass.
Smooth the repaired area with the brush.Repair will be complete when the resin cures in 30 minutes. Tank may be refilled after 30 minutes or when the repair is tack free.
Sorry, but 'there is no fix just replacement' is 100% wrong. I've been working on cars since 1968 and have had a number of gas tanks repaired. It's a very common repair, and replacement is absolutely NOT necessary unless you have major damage. A puncture such as one caused by damage from objects flying up under the car is easily repairable.There's really nothing wrong with the epoxy patches, but they are the cheap way out and how well they seal and last is open to question.
They don't last forever, but if the surface is properly cleaned and prepped, you'll probably get a few years out of it. Follow the directions with great care and check periodically for signs of renewed leakage.The best way is to drop the tank, drain it and have a radiator shop weld the hole. They know how to do this - it's pretty common. I've had tanks in collector cars with numerous holes cleaned, welded and re-lined. Replacement is not required - BTDT.
