Guss at Van's gave me a neat and easy way to repair a fuel leak in my tank.

My QB tank leaked at one of the rivets a few inches from the fuel
filler cap. A few drops of Locktite 290 on top of the rivet, along
with a VERY SLIGHT vacuum from the overflow tube has cured the leak
(the fuel tank can collaps with very litle vacuum). Loctite 290 cures
in an environment without oxygen so don't expect the drop on top of
the rivet, exposed to air, to will be cured the next day.

I thought this info might help if you have a similar leak.

Read the Loctite 290 Data Sheet before you use the stuff.
