I think I have found a way to fix the Gas Tank without welding or brazing. I took it off and where it appears to be leaking is under the welds where the support/mounting bracket is for the rear of the tank.
I found this stuff online that puts a liner inside the tank it comes in a three part process.
Has anyone had any success with this type of product?

I have used a similar product, it works for a while, best thing to do is just get it welded. There is a reason you sprang a leak in that spot, it was weaker than another spot and it will continue to break until it is welded.

Tank liners from what I hear are just what admin said. Best is to replace tank or weld.

I understand that but I am struggling to find what I need as far as a replacement tank. Not having much experience I don't know what I'm looking for and what I have found still needs some welding done to put the mounting attachments on to fit my existing mounting holes...

Can you send me the make and model of the bike perhaps? Maybe I can help I know it gets stressful and I know about PTSD having it myself.....

It is an RC Moto Tank. I appreciate the help. All I seem to be able to find online is plastic tanks with covers.

That tank isn't deep enough in the tunnel anyway. I have to have it deeper and wider because the turn signal relay is hid under it.

I don't think the tank dope you gave me the link for because I can't get to the spot where it appears to be leaking from without taking off the brackets which means grinding off the welds which I can't replace later either.

I contacted a local dealer that sold me my Burgman that I didn't keep and they might be able to fix my tank for me.

You've done more than most in my daily life have. I appreciate all the efforts made on my behalf. Kind of wishing I just left the other damn motor on there now.

Glad you got a pro to weld it up for you.
