  • Rollincode, a warning: Despite what the video says, polyethylene is not gasoline proof. Alkenes (paraffins) will soften it above about 84°F. Gas cans and tanks are comolded or coextruded to form a gasoline proof lining made of another material. The outer polyethylene layer provides the mechanical strength, but does not have direct contact with the gasoline. So I don't know what your glue joint will or won't do, but the Tap people are just wrong in saying PE is gasoline proof.

  • Despite warnings from TAP I just repaired the gas tank on my 01 YZ 250. There were two hairline cracks on the tank where the shrouds go. Buying a new tank at $300+ was not an option. I watched this video 5 times and read the instructions while on the pot. I will post back after i do some testing. i.e letting the tank sit with some gas in it for a few days. Hope it works
