Once the hole is smooth. Apply fuel patch with q-tip over hole and the surrounding edges.
-
-
-
Avoid having air pockets in the ointment. Air pockets may make the patch less effective or not seal at all.
-
-
-
-
Once the ointment is spread over smoothly, you will need to rub the edges out so there is no edge that can be caught on something.
-
-
-
Let the patch dry over.
-
Try not to touch patch until completely dry. This may take a couple hours.
-
-
-
Next, you will need to check the patch after completely dry. Make sure there is no bubbles or edges where there could be another potential leak.
-
-
-
When tank is full check to see if there are any leaks in the patch. Leaks consist of fuel dripping or even air leak from patch.
-
-
-
When there are no leaks start riding. Your tank is now patched. Check up on patch after ride to make sure it is still sealed.
