Default 89 Trooper II gas tank leak - 08-31-2008 , 11:24 AM






My gas tank leaks around the seam, rusty. I looked for a new one but
there does not seem to be new tanks available anymore for this model.
Anyone have a suggestion as to how I should deal with this.

Thanks
Denny

Get one from the bone yard, clean it, use a sealer around the seams,
remove and install.

Or another option if your feeling overly handy. Marine fuel tanks are
plastic and available in dozens of shapes and sizes. Find one that
fits acceptably, make some mounting brackets and bolt it in. Then you
won't end up with the rust problem all this new ethanol blended fuel
is going to cause.

I like the second option. I'll look around. Thanks for the tips.
