Thread: Araldite Petrol Resistance?

I seem to remember using Ferropre for that job once, years ago. The breather is still there, so I guess unless it takes a knocking something like JB Weld should hold it in place if you're not keen on going the whole hog and braze/solder.

Araldite won't work, you need some 'JB Weld'

I've brazed a breather on a fuel tank before. Quite some years ago.
Fill it with water.

JB weld, liquid metal to make the seal then carefully wire brush the lot and use the normal araldite to give it strength.

Another suggestion:

The blue and white 2 part epoxy putty is also very good for this sort of work.
I once plugged a reasonable hole in a fuel tank on a Toyota Hiace van and it lasted another 130,000 km (when I sold it...)

Is there any of the breather pipe left on the tank? If so you could firstly rejoin the broken bit back with some heatshrink tubing and shrink it with a warm soldering iron thereby getting continuity through the join.

Ensure you get the 2-part putty proportions correct then knead the putty fully and form a solid "caste" around the join, using a fair bit of overlap for mechanical strength. Leave for 24 hrs to harden. Full curing takes longer but it will go rock hard ...

have used stuff called kneadit(from supercrap) to fix water tanks in caravan and fuel tank in old fergie.Seems to work ok and easy to use.
