I have a 1977 Ford Pickup. The gas tank developed a small pinhole leak.
I repaired it with some of that putty/epoxy they sell. It then developed
another small leak. I probably need to do a more drastic type of repair.
What's available?

Thanks,
Tom

You should bite the bullet and replace the tank. You will be chasing these
pinhole rust leaks forever.

If you have any experience working on cars, the tank replacement is not
hard, just be careful with the gasoline.

You can find replacement gas tanks easily. I'd look at the warranty
offered more so than the price.

If you aren't comfortable replacing the tank yourself, any repair shop
should be able to do it.

good luck

A new Gas Tank is needed. You are wasting your time, putting your
health and safety at risk, and possibly eating away your driveway
coatings.
