Question
how do i fix the fuel tanks (holes in line to engine) w/o buying a new one?

Answer
There is a product called "Seal-all" made by Ecletic Products (web site seal-all.com) that looks just about like a old tube of airplane glue.

I buy mine at Target or the auto parts store.

It will actually seal a dripping gas leak without clearing the line.

Expertise

I can answer most general repair questions on vehicles from the 40's to the early 2000's. I do not repair automatic transmissions. I have built cars from the frame up and done repairs on most makes and models, foreign and domestic. I even do limited upholstry work. I have had my shop closed for several years so "where do I find the dome light cover for a 34 Plymouth" or "where can I find a picture of a '55 chevy rain flap" is not really going to get you far. I will do my best to share my experience even if I don't know your particular solution. Use the advice as just that, advice.

Experience

I have about 37 years experience in the economical repair of middle aged vehicles of all types. I have owned my own repair shop in the past and custom built cars at that time. I have kept my hand in it quite a bit, but do not really follow the 'computerized, replace parts until something works' method of repair. I believe in fixing what is wrong and not spending more than you have to. I know when I do not know something and do not have a problem admitting it
