Hi so i went to my truck this morning and noticed that there was a little puddle of diesel from my front tank. I found a little crack in the tank and was wondering what would be the best way to seal the crack for the time being untill i buy a new one. thanks for the help

you can get gas tank repare kits at the parts and ive had good luck with them on gas tanks idk about diesel tanks. also look on ebay for a tank i got a good deal on a front tank for my truck, like $85.

I've had really good luck with the NAPA gas tank repair kits. Yes it's a half baked repair but I've probably fixed 20 tanks over the last 30 years and I've never had one leak at the patch. I've had other rust holes appear and one fell out when the strap mount rusted off but the patches never leaked.

If you really need to use the front tank, just get some fuel tank epoxy and seal it. It will work till you can get a new tank.
