So its now a fibreglass flap that leaks fuel. Im going to have to replace the fuel tank for the Turbo build anyway so are there any suggestions as to what else i could use? I was going to use some 'cold weld' or some other kind of metal filler to patch it up. But im unsure if it will dry or react to the petrol.
