[DML] Re: Soliciting Suggestions For Fuel Tank Mod



A possible way to repair the block is to cut a piece of aluminum
roughly square to fit over the hole and epoxy it in. You will need to
clean the area scrupulusly and use the right (read expensive) epoxy. I
have successfully repaired castings (not PRV's) this way as long as it
isn't structural. The alternative is to remove the engine and weld a
piece in (Maybe they could even do it right in place?). Any good shop
that can weld aluminum could do it. The key is to get the area clean
so anything you do will stick.
