The local pond life where I am living at (until the end of sept) decided to drill a hole in my petrol tank of 2.0 marea on friday night and drain all the fuel out.
The police weren't bothered but I was left with a 10ml hole in the plastic tank which was slightly more pressing.
I have filled the hole with petrol tank putty (its an epoxy putty) and put a layer of fibre glass around the surface they struck, I thought about putting a screw in the hole but I couldn't get anything large enough which is self tapping or even a bolt.
So if it holds - fantastic, but in the event of it not being right but does anybody else have any ideas what I can do? Idealy I want to avoid a new fuel tank as these have to come brand new as scrappies have to drain all fluids and this usually involves cutting a big hole in fuel tanks........
Where does this leave me with reference to the MOT, I assume that its' only a failure if the tank is leaking?
