    I have put JB weld steel stick putty on my fuel tank thank holds diesel. About 10 hopes the size of a match head up to 1 the girth of a finger. I got the tank sand blasted and prepped before I put it on. So my question is how long will it last ? Any help would be good people.

    Thanks for the video tutorial. Do you think this might work for a 2 stage MTD snowblower fuel tank that is leaking around the seam where the two halves of the tank are joined together? The fuel tank is plastic, so I'm not sure what the best solution is. My pack of JB Weld 2-part epoxy says it's fuel and petroleum resistant, but while searching UA-cam I found your video specifically using the tank weld product. It definitely seems to have worked for your application!👍

      It did work and worked well for a little over a year. I just recently had to remove the tank and work on the carb and it was starting to release and try to peel off. However it served its purpose for over a year.

      I had it fail on me once on a boat fuel tank but decided I'd try it one more time after I convinced myself that maybe I didn't have it clean enough the first time. That did it. If you keep in mind that it's just epoxy resin and has to have BARE, scuffed-up metal and spotlessly clean and dried (I used acetone and stainless steel (that's important) wire wheel. ) now it's stuck on there so hard I don't think dynamite could blow it off.
