Hello, I don't know how to explain this, but my driver hit a rock or something, and managed to create a hole in the bottom of the driver's side fuel tank. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Can we bypass that fuel tank in any sort of way? JB Weld the bottom, where the hole is? Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

If you have twin tanks block off the lines the that tank. Put fuel in the other one and rock on tell you get home.
Do not forget to call the EPA and report your fuel leak.spsauerland Thanks this. -
I remember ole Tom stuck a carrot in the hole to get him to the shop , and it worked.

I used a rag & a stick.

If its a small hole that you can jamb a screw into and you don’t have one laying around. Take one out of a door panel or dash in a pinch.

For a permanent repair I'd take the tank off and take it to a shop that welds aluminum. They can probably flush the tank of flammable fluids/vapours and then weld up/patch the hole.
Caterpillar Cowboy and spsauerland Thank this.
