possible fuel tank leak

[duncan_sheek]

Greetings! I checked my car's fuel tank,nakita ko na basa yung ilalim ng tank. Its hard to tell where the leak may originate. What could be the possible cause? can any autoshop solve this or meron talagang specific shops akong pupuntahan? Thanks in advance.

depends where it's comming from... baka hose lang and all you need to do is have it reclamped.

yep, thats right. I had it checked right away. yun palang isang hose loose na or medyo nahuhugot ng konti(di ko alam tawag sa hose). kinabit ulit ng mabuti ng mekaniko and had it clamped. While at it, pina-check ko na din buong fuel lines and everything seemed to be fine. Peace of mind now... Thanks!

up ko lang ulit. upon checking my gas tank again, nakita ko sa ilalim basa ulit. I traced the source, it seems to be coming from the tank itself. meron maliit na singaw. Can a patch remedy this? ok ba yung epoxy steel or anyone can recommend a patch for this. Meron akong napanood na tv commercial, yung radiator patch(don't know the brand name) parang ok din yun. Thanks in advance.

duncan,
it's quite a hazard to drive your car with the fuel tank leak...a small spark nearby can blow your tank (seriously!) remember that fuel is highly combustible. i suggest you correct the problem by having the tank welded (oxy acetylene ang katapat nyan) needless to say, that the tank should be airdried / emptied for a couple of weeks before servicing it...i won't risk patching it with a steel epoxy...
