Aluminum fuel tank leak. Small crack in the welds.
Anyone here have any experience with Aluminum fuel tanks? My 24 gallon tank developed a leak. There is a tiny tiny crack about 1 inch long in the middle of the weld, not where the weld meets the sheet metal. Wondering if I can have this section rewelded or if I should be searching for a new tank. Not sure what caused it, there is no external stress on the tank (no sitting or standing on it, etc..)
Also, if anyone wants to watch me struggle to keep standing up while in rough seas with 20 gallons of fuel spilled all over the deck...I can upload the gopro footage. I did not know gas was so slippery!
