2 weaping rivets on trailing edge of tank

[gassman]

Put fuel in for the first time yesterday. I have 2 weeping rivets on the bottom trailing edge. Advise??????? It is not painted. I did not build these tanks.

Sorry to say… Vans tank repair covers, drill access holes through rear baffle, get in there & apply Proseal along that inside seam (top & bottom!)
Also sorry to say… if you have a leak along that seam in one bay, highly likely you will have future problems in other bays along that seam joint ( because same sealing technique, results, will exist along the whole length of the tank).
Better to be proactive now & avoid multiple repairs later.

I had a similar problem. My seep was not bad. I thinned some Pro Seal. Set up my vacuum on affected tank. Had my son turn on the vacuum momentarily a couple of times as I worked the ProSeal around the rivets. It worked! Not my idea, saw this procedure on this site. Might give it a try.
