[QUOTE="Tom_Charlton, post: 193925, member: 2210"] Filled the gas tank on the 84 trike and noticed a small leak at the top edge of the tank. I previously covered the entire tank with JB Weld steel because it had a multitude of pinholes, thought I had sealed all of them. We leaked checked the tank with soapy water before I put it on the bike and didn't see any bubbles. I guess the full tank of gas generated enough pressure to re-open one of the holes. I removed the tank which means I had to totally remove the trike portion to get the tank out. Once it was out, I again leak checked the tank with soapy water and air pressure, but couldn't get any bubbles. WTF? I saw the gasoline spurting out when the tank was on the bike, but can't get it to blow bubbles. I have another tank, so I'll clean it up and leak check it before putting it in the bike. It takes a full day to re-assemble the trike portion, so I want to be sure the tank doesn't leak before I put it in the bike. Oh yeah, I also walked 9 holes of golf this morning early. Good exercise, but my scores suck. [/QUOTE]
