I've got a 2002 Chevy Astro van with a leaking plastic gas tank. From my searching on the web I've got about as good of chance of finding one as I have of getting a booty call from Valerie Bertinelli. I did find a used one in a wrecking yard. The only problem is that has a ragged 3/4" hole in the bottom where the yard drained the gas. You can buy kits to patch plastic gas tanks, however there more for patching a crack or small hole than a 3/4' hole.
My plan is to make the hole round and turn a plastic plug to fit. I will then use some of the magic goo in the repair kit to glue in place. After it sets up solid I will file it down to match external contour of the tank, then use more magic goo and the fiberglass cloth that came in the kit to put about a 4" X 4" patch over the plug.
Does it sound like it will work and last a couple of years until I can get another vehicle?
