Well, I finally found my gas tank leak. It was a pin-hole sized leak in the side of my tank. Like to have never found it-actually, it was looking me right in the face. Before doing a lot of thinking on repair, I sanded down the area around the leak ( though not before I re-positioned the car so no gas was leaking out) and applied three coats of epoxy. Is this a good gas tank leak fixer?
In hindsight, I would have used JB weld-I have had excellent results fixing gas tanks on my old Z's with this stuff. Any comments would be appreciated.

maybe a used gas tank replacement might be a better fix since a fixed hole could possibly leak again. oh also i have never had this problem nor know how much a gas tank for the ls normally cost..haha

i wonder what condition the rest of the car is in, if the fuel tank is leaking.

I hauled some 2x4's in the trunk; I think I may have allowed one of them to hit the tank too hard.

I've fixed a leak on the bottom of a tank with JBweld and had good results... I guess it depends on the epoxy.

Ah, gotcha I thought that it had somehow rusted through, which is crazy because the tank is in the interior in our cars... lol!

Where is the tank anyway? hard to imagine its hiding somewhere when its like 22 gallons (4.5 large office water bottles)!

between the trunk and the back seat, going down and forwards from the front trunk wall.
