Drop it out of the car, remove the fuel, insert a strong shop vac hose into the vent opening and leave it running to suck the fumes out for a few minutes and leave it on and drill smaller holes around the original hole, fiberglass chopp matt and resin it...and i'd call it good as new....but thats just ME...I'm in no way responsible for YOUR actions

Edit: Also if its a metal gas tank a neo magnet on the outside of the tank would more than likely prevent metal shavings in the fuel pump

Wouldnt do that. electric motor pumping out gas fumes. sounds like a bomb to me.

They make gastank patch kits. they work for awhile

I've seen a gas tank for a semi welded with fuel still in it using this method, also mythbusters proved that wrong. JS

I didnt realize we were talking diesel. It does have a much higher flash point but I still wouldnt trust the fumes. IMO

Yeah, fumes are much worse than the gas itself in terms of combustion. Is it a plastic or metal tank? As long as you don't run it down too low, the shavings should stay settled at the bottom... I think if the jb weld doesn't hold, they're are plent of adhesive's/fillers/epoxy's out there that would prove effective for the job...

I hate long signatures....

...what the fuck is wrong wiht you you fucking fuckity fuck fuck head...

wouldn't blow up, too much gasoline vapors in the air, not enough oxygen(i mean the ratio of vapors to air). You cant have any combustion without the presence of oxygen.
