I noticed a small gas leak on my original 48 tank. It looks like it is coming from a previous fix.
I have read mixed reviews about the Summit Racing fuel liner kit is there anything anyone suggests besides replacement, or welding the hole?

I used a gas tank sealer kit sold by Bill Hirsch 30 years ago and haven't had a problem since.

I know Eastwood sells a kit as well, but I've never used it.
