Hole in plastic gas tank

[FLJim]

Last weekend, I was fishing on a northern Mn,lake and hit a rock.I put a very small hole in the bottom of the hull of my boat! In order to salvage the weekend of fishing I put a small screw with silicone to stop the leak.It worked but unfortunately, it was a tad to long and ended up putting a pinhole in the gas tank.The hole is about a 1/16 in dia. I don't want to buy a new tank!Has this happened to anybody,If so, how would you go about fixing this?! I'm going through withdrawls and need to get back on the water!

I know its a little late now, but having a small hole in your hull isn't going to ruin your weekend. You won't sink, you may need to turn the bilge pump on a few times during the outing, but it isn't going down like the Titanic. Boats now days have a TON of flotation in them.

G00gle "plastic gas tank epoxy" there are a few out there that don't require the removal of the tank for pinhole repair.

You might try a screw with a rubber gasket in the pinhole in the tank.

Empty the tank, use a stainless steel screw, before you seat the screw paint on a little jb weld, done deal.
