Default Re: 89 23cc fuel tank

Tank is almost ready to pull. As I cut through the foam,the saw returned wet and covered with mush. I imagine I will see plenty of pitting. Question ?? I have looked at alot of info on replacing tanks and have not seen anyone glassing the tank and replacing it. A layer of 1708 with a good soak of epoxy should be ample protection from future leaks. I would think that a good patch on a bad spot and a wrap would last very well. Any thoughts? I imagine that epoxy would have a high bond strength on aluminum. Will it crack and break bond in a sea? My tank does not leak at the moment, so I'm trying to save it. Thanks guys. I've appreciated all the info.
