[W124] Fuel Tank leaks...

[Gibbons, Paul]

Dale,
 
Petrol-Patch works very well, you just have to make sure the surface is
clean, rubbed-down and absolutely oil-free.....use isopropyl alcohol or
similar...

Subject: [W124] Fuel Tank leaks...


Hi all, sadly my E320 Coupe ('93, 190K miles) was involved in a little shunt
a few weeks ago. As values are are such bargain levels (mine about £5K UK)
and the damage estimated at £8K UK it was written of by the insurance
company. :-(
 
I am now running around in a 1990 300TE diesel seven seater. Great as a work
horse but god it's slow! Anyway, I have spotted a leak in the fuel tank, it
seems to be a broken joint between the filler pipe and the tank, probably
caused by grounding out on a speed bump so popular in the UK these days. It
drips out pretty constantly, I reckon I'm losing about a gallon a week?
 
Anyone got any good suggestions as to a fix. It's only worth about £1K so
not planning to spend much on it and I don't think I'm up to a replacement
myself. Would a clean up plus some sort of compound form a possible
solution?
 
Any ideas great fully received?
 
Dale
 
ps I'm still short of cash so not much to spend today, but I've decided to
replace the Coupe with a Cabriolet as soon as I am afford it. I'm planning
to cash in some assets later in the year so that could be the time. Can't
wait :-)
