UPDATE: This lasted about 3 weeks, it doesn’t help that the bike was in the humid garage but the adhesive starts to drip off the gray tape, it got on the frame and other areas. pretty strange EDIT: I ended up JB welding the tank and it works perfect again
I tried that today… It will not hold on plastic, once that gas hits it… Why in the hell would a company put a plastic gas tank on a car… Literally no different than a gas tank you can get out of a store. After watching a guys video using a soldering tool, I went and got my soldering tool to melt the plastic back closed after cleaning the surface and stopping the leak from flowing. It was absolutely genius. I then melted some scrap plastic into the gas that field everything up and I sanded down the entire area after it cooled off and that’s that.
I wrote a letter to Flex Tape about a small leak in the bottom of my De-greasing Tank to wash parts here in my shop on the farm. The cleaning solvent I use, in the tank, is Diesel Fuel. They said the fuel will eventually work through the glue on the tape and start to leak again. They do not recommend this type repair. Dylon made this repair in July 2018, it is now April 2019, is the repair still holding?
so I have a question. I have dry rotted cracks on my go kart tires which leak air through them, since they still have lots of rubber left to wear down I'm going to try and save them. bought a can of flex seal,thinking of taking tires off rims, coat the inside of tires w it,let it cure properly,then see if it will hold air. thinking it should. What's your guys opinion? do u think it will hold? has anyone ever tried this. the cracks aren't too dramatic, but enough to not allow air to hold. hope someone has tried this before or knows if it will.thanks for reading this btw
No lie. All that Flexi seal shit they sell is incredible. Next time a plumber tells you the price bc of labor wrap that copper pipe in front of him that is leaking and there and tell him to take a hike. There won’t be a drip !
..by the way is this flex tape is also applicable to plastic gasoline tank like plastic fuel of my honda xr200r bcoz there is a crack causing fuel to leak

@@kriegthepsycho2954 gold is a mineral ore, however it is classified on the periodic table as a transition metal, so yes gold is a metal, no disrespect but if you don't believe me just Google "is gold a metal?", once again no disrespect meant by this comment
I have a 2 stroke dirtbike that the tank keeps cracking on it and in the middle of english class i thought fles tape. But i wasnt sure if the gas will eat away the tape so i looked it up and it brought me here. Ghetto fix it is. The gas tank cracked 4 times and i patched it 4 times with a plastic welder and it cracked again. Its been a month since the last patch so im pretty sure that gas tank if f*cked
Aluminum is metal, as is steel, iron, titanium, etc. Metal is not an element it is a classification of these elements, no prob tho just a common mistake, I've made the same mistake myself in the past before I got more educated on the matter, and I know I'm very late to this post, just wanted to make sure nobody read this and thought it was true, aluminum is classified as a post-transition metal, once again I mean no ill will by my reply to this comment
Ok I know I'm very late to be replying to this comment but as an otaku, I had to correct you on this, if you look it up on Google the Pikachu from the anime has been confirmed by the creator as male, however post-anime there was created a way to tell the difference between male and female, the difference being a notch in the tail of the female, once again I know I'm very late to this post and I mean absolutely no disrespect by my reply just wanted to set things straight, as anime culture is a passion of mine 😁✌

The adhesive is solvent based. The fuel is slowly softening it and it's dripping as it disolves.
@@toddjackson3136 Thanks.
“ not metal, it must be aluminium” yes aluminium my favourite wood
People will never let go that I miss spoke lmao Oh well, cant change the video now

Great presentation young man even though you're not doing this for Flex tape I'm going to use it on my 1979 Ford pinto.

SealsAll (Yellow tube for Gas&Oil) works excellently on fuel tank leaks, and costs around $5, at almost any store that has a hardware department.
Nope failed in about 2 weeks on this repair, still pretty good

*WOW*
*THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE*
JB Weld would be your best most permanent quick fix.
doesnt work tried it
But u going to let that stuff dry but it works
I used it and it did not work
very cool tape. much respect and safe ridin.
No lie. All that Flexi seal shit they sell is incredible. Next time a plumber tells you the price bc of labor wrap that copper pipe in front of him that is leaking and there and tell him to take a hike. There won’t be a drip !
It's gonna need Tig welded for sure
Your best bet is to go ahead and have somebody silver solder it It will not break down overtime like JB Weld or flex tape will
Nice pokemon bandaid! I hope it holds up because aluminum is hard to weld. I like how you Slapped the memes in this upload.
will it work on a fuel line too?
..by the way is this flex tape is also applicable to plastic gasoline tank like plastic fuel of my honda xr200r bcoz there is a crack causing fuel to leak
JB Weld (slow cure 24hrs)would be cheap, easy and with sanding + paint you won't see the repair.
Is it still holding up
So gasoline will dissolve the adhesive on flex tape? I'm trying to remove some and the tape came off but adhesive remains.
for emergency use.... works great
fill with water and put in freezer, ice will expand the dents out
God Bless and Much Love
Use metal puddy
You could also use flex seal which is more of a rubber coating
Tried that. *The fuel eats right through it*
i suggested it :)
Your the bomb, GREAT Idea too
thanks, your the one who got me into pocketbikes!
I am so surprised that worked. Did you ever price the shipping?
I will this week
It be soo helpful if u made a update on how the tape is working show us the gas is not dissolving the tape
Bobby Thompson update is in the comment section
1:17 lol facepalm
"its not metal, its aluminum" -Dylon 2k18
Haha I thought you pic was a hair and kept trying to brush it off.
Hey Phil swift here with flex tape.
Love your vids man! Keep on doing these small pocket bikes and maybe u could get a cheap chinese atv and modify that. Or a cheap chinese dirt bike
Did the flex tape ever start leaking
It works I used it on my fuel filler neck I kept an eye on it it was like 4days before it started to leak again
Dang 4 days is all you got from it? Hope I get more
Dylon Desbiens yeah me to just don't stick it to your arm like I did by mistake when I was installing it
Oh my gosh how long did you have it on your arm!? That's horrible, it's so sticky
Bubble gum works the best.. just chew it good and smear it in.. big red is strongest!!!! Lol
Try a bar of soap grasshopper!
Success, that's Really cool!
Yeah!!!
Is your pocket bike forks on BACKWARDS ?!?!
Clean it then Jb weld it
is it safe for fuel tanks ?
How long did it last

That's most likely a magnesium case old Stihl
If that didn't hold you should try filling it with solder

FLEX TAPE DOES NOT REPAIR GAS TANKS. THE FUEL WILL EAT RIGHT THROUGH THE ADHESIVE.
I TRIED IT.
***DOES NO WORK***
Its good temporary in spot fix though.
Lol...
I have a 2 stroke dirtbike that the tank keeps cracking on it and in the middle of english class i thought fles tape.

This started to fail in a few weeks, I would use jb weld on mine not plastic but that’s just cuz this tank is aluminum not plastic
That stuff is garbage I tried the same damn thing haha
Not made for gas
It's not metal its aluminum lmao smh
Yea I messed up when I said that but oh well it’s uploaded lol
