After 2 years I have almost finished the restoration of my Landy. Actually turned it over this weekend after rewiring thanks to the very generous with his time Wal. I filled up the tank which I had previously cleaned out and coated with a tank sealing product. And to my disappointment it leaked like a siv. I think the dirt and grime I took out must have been plugging some serious holes. Can anyone tell me where i can get it repaired or buy a new one from that isn't an import from the UK.I live in Melbourne. Thanks

In my experience the tank sealing products like those sold by PORS are great. I can only assume that the tank was not treated correctly - it does require the tank to be out of the vehicle and the very liberal use of the sealant.

Try resealing it with POR.

If yours is past saving 4-Wheel Drives can get new ones made but they need your old filler neck (it's cut out of the old tank and installed in the new one).
