I soldered up a leaky seam in a Land Rover petrol tank today, exhaust running into the filler neck. On testing with some petrol and the air line blowing in there was a tiny weep so it had to be re-done, again with the exhaust running in.
However good the reputation of sealing products I seem to have a deep-seated prejudice against them and prefer a mechanical fix, probably from years of riding a Norton Dommie with a leaky tank in my youth. No amount of gubbins from all sorts of promised "Wunder-Sele" worked... mind you things have progressed in the world of plastics since 1969!
