Struggling to seal a leaky gas tank in the pickup.

Have you considered welding something to it first to stop the leak then epoxy it

It's a plastic tank

And?

Fine, ok. In all seriousness, I'd drain it. Don't make the hole bigger.

If it were metal, you'd weld it while it was full. But, plastic...I got nothin.

Weld while it's full? Are you trying to kill Superman?

Yes, you weld on a tank when it's full. There's a reason it's called GASoline.

Growing up my dad took a bar of soap and rubbed it over the pinhole in the tank and it worked like a charm. I don't

If it's dry I'd epoxy the crap out of it with the appropriate stuff.

Sounds like you should drain the tank to do a solid epoxy repair.
