Another good reason to use aviation fuel.
I did those repairs about eleven years ago - covering a pin hole or two
with JB - and it's still fine. If it ever starts weeping or showing a
color change I'll do something else. It's worked fine so far . . .
Isn’t Marine Tex a polyester gelcoat crack repair item?
That is what I’ve used on my sailboat.
Don’t misunderstand me, it very well may be used for other things but I’m
almost sure it’s polyester/gelcoat white.

Try Marine-Tex. Its made for underwater hull repairs. I have repaired properly
prepped cracked engine blocks (aluminum and steel ) along with gas tanks,

The IDEAL tank would be polyethylene, which is what modern cars have. It's

tends to bounce back from a blow rather than shatter.
But as far as I know

aluminum. 22 gallon header tank."
Absolutely. My header is a 17.3 gallon tank but then my KR-1½ is
narrower than the KR-2 fuselage. When I got the plane from Bennett there
was a tiny pinhole leak in the bottom
If I were to do it again, I would make my fuel tank out of welded aluminum. 22
gallon header tank. Place it right where the original design has it and
gravity feed the engine. Joe Nunley Baker Florida
