Fuel Tanks
 
I own a baja 240 es, the fuel tank is leaking again... I repaired it last year..... I am looking to order a new one, anyone have any good links to site where i might order one??? also the tank in it is aluminum, a few people have told me to get a high impact plastic tank, whats your thoughts on that... ??? I'm looking for the best fix so i don't have to ever touch the tank again...
I thank you in advance for your help....

What is causing the tank to leak? Is it rubbing on something?

No rubbing , it was leaking when i bought it...so i expoxyed it last year ,its leaking on the welded seems....i talked to a marina they told me i was going to have to have one custom made and it would take 6 weeks..... if that is the case i will have it rewelded again..... the guy i bought it from beat it pretty good, he launched it on a big wave and it leaked ever since....

You might try Imco in Southern Cal. They make alot of fuel tanks.

well team gary thx for help...unforunatly nobody has the tank i need, and to get the tank new i would have to have it fabricated, and thats $1000 ...... so i am trying this product called por 15 gas tank repair kit..... it coats the tank and seals it from the inside..
i figured i would share this with you guys incase anyone else runs into this problem..... The kit is like 50 bucks and it comes with 2 quarts of cleaner , one quart of metal etch, and the i quart of the sealer.... its supposed to be a permant fix...
