My SX had this type of leak on it and it was kindof hard to repair (it was hot and it would take too long to set) but I think it woud be able to be repaired as long as you know what you are doing.(As I didnt)

I had a second-hand ATC 110 once, and the guy before me used molten fiberglass around the seam. Never leaked once, and it was a 1982 model.

Hey Chris, I have a 200X with a leaky tank. Can that Magnum Steel stuff be sanded smooth? I would rather patch the hole than pay for another tank.

Why how much do they go for?

I guess you are asking me this question. From what I have seen, most good tanks on Ebay fetch between $30-45 plus shipping, which is usually a minimum of $10. I will gladly pay 1/5 that amount for something that works and I don't have to wait two weeks for or worry about even showing up.

it says it can be sanded, drilled, painted... all that good stuff. Gas and oil resistant. Good stuff!

Sila prene works pretty well for this as well It also is sandable paintable etc. comes in a 300 ml tube. works really well. Copper brazing works ok as well
