My H2C tank has sprung a leak and from the amount of nosh on the outside & white stuff inside a repair has been tryed before!
It seems to be coming through the metal! I know this sounds silly but i think fine perforations along the underside and around join (top to bottom).
H2C tanks are not the easiest to get hold of!
Off the road and looking for a option

Throw a handfull of raisins in with the fuel and they will clog up the leak (for a while)..

Perforations good for tea not for fuel tanks!!
Keeps getting through!
Tank has been lined in past. No doubt a long term problem.
Malc has done me a deal on TANK

I'd still line your new' tank, for what it costs,
por15 m/c tank kit from frosts..........nice silver inside, you cant tell.
pour in metal ready, swill it about till nice and clean, about an hour,
that etches the metal, wash n dry it thoroughly, with hair dryer, or overnite,
just tip in the por15, swill it around tip out excess,
small tin for £8 is plenty, it'll do 2 tanks if theyre ready together,
chemically adheres to the etched tank, fills pin head holes,
but usually fix them first,.
