Hi Everyone, 


This weekend I found a gas leak in #317 and had to siphon off 5 gallons of gas immediately after adding it to the tank. I have an Atomic 4 that runs great. The gas tank is a Tempo 11 gallon from '97. The tank sits at an angle, with the lowest point forward. The leak is aft on the starboard side and has a pretty terrible patch on it. I didn't notice it at first, because the tank can hold a couple of gallons before it hits the leak.


I have two questions:
	1. Does anyone have a used fuel tank that they aren't using anymore that they'd like to sell? I'm looking for dimensions around 24"x18"x7.5". 

	2. Does anyone have any advice on patching a plastic fuel tank? Should I even try it? If I should, any good resources out there for guidance? 

As always, thanks in advance for the great advice!

Best,

Brenton
