Default Re: Punched a hole in gas tank

How about a relatively simple fix? Drill at the puncture for a 1/2" Plug, tap for 1/2-13 NPT threads, apply pipe dope to the plug, and install. The tank wall thickness is at least a 1/4" which will give you at least 3 threads for the plug to get a purchase on. You might end up with some poly shavings in the fuel, which will show up in your fuel/water separator, but this will work. You can use a PVC plug or brass.
