Title: Methanol Vs Fuel tank leak putty
Post by: Stewart Allen on September 04, 2012, 09:18:07 pm

Does anyone know if fuel tank putty will work with Methanol ? Or is there a particular brand or type that has worked for you with methanol.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers Stewart

Hi Mick,
           yeah I was a bit light on detail. CR125M Steel tank, put some fuel tank repair putty (some kind of erpoxy) on it tonight after grinding, wire buffing & cleaning with acetone. Had a 1 Hr cure, I gave it 2.5 Hr's and looks to have worked. Will recheck in the AM should be all go for CD9.

Cheers
