My diesel fuel tank on my tractor has a pin hole in it. Will YamaBond hold up to diesel fuel? Anybody know?

JB should hold up. Yamabond works between two parts, but probably would leak on the tank. There is a gas proof weld available at auto part stores that would also work.Ray Matteis

I have used Seal All. It is fuel proof. It's in a yellow tube, and readily available.79 F

I was thinking about brazing it but afraid of blowing a big hole. The metal is probably pretty thin in that area. Thanks guys.79 F full cruiser, stainless brake lines, spade fuses, Accel coils, modded air box w/larger velocity stacks, 750 FD.

Clean the metal well and solder up the area. I did that on an XS tank someone had botched a repair on. Use the plumbers solder kit, make sure the steel is clean, flux the area, and go easy on the heat from the propane torch.Ray Matteis
