Yeah it is pretty funny, but my brother is flying home this weekend from university and was really looking forward to riding I could try the JB Weld just as a temporary solution....or even leave the screw in there maybe.

Looks like I'll be getting a clarke tank

Permatex makes some sort of fuel tank sealing putty that I see in shops here in Japan. It comes in a cylinder shaped tube. I'm guessing they might have the same thing in the states. Good luck.

Down the road from me there is actually a place that specializes in fixing gas tanks and radiators and stuff... Maby you should check around your town for one of those.

leaving the screw in it, or jb weld might be a temporary repair, but I'd hate to see you burst into flames on top of all that. you might want toget it fixed correctly, or upgrade.
