REFLECTOR: Need 2-3 Ounces Jeffco Fuel Tank Sealer - Willing to payless than $600

[Dennis Martin]

Malcolm Collier (a builder assist expert who has finished many Vs) suggested
I use Jeffco because it's higher viscosity (on a 95 degree July afternoon)
will allow it to be sucked into the pinhole with a shop vac. He's fixed
plenty of pinholes this way. He pulls a vacuum through the fuel cap hole and
says it will pull the Jeffco into the void. Hopefully this method wilI get
epoxy all the way thru the bulkhead. JB is fantastic stuff and I've used it
a lot on my V. Years ago I read in Wall St. Journal about repairs on a
cracked DC-3 cylinder in the Andes. The story claimed It flew out of
mountains back to sea level with JB weld holding it together.

Thanks to all for your help,
Dennis
