Well when I first ask about things to look for on a used kat from 98, someone told me to take a look at the fuel tank for rust. A few days ago I notice that the bike was leaking gas so I ask here and someone told me to take a look at the fuel hoses and petcock. Today I take the fuel tank off to look for the problem and I notice that it's not leaking from the hoses or the petcock. I look a little closer under the padding of the tank a there's a little hole about the size of a pen tip. So I guess I have rust in the tank and it already rusted tru the metal of the tank.
1. Why do these tank last so little compare to a cars fuel tank? Could it be due to having the bike stand without use in the winter?
2. How can I fix this problem it's only a small hole, could I use epoxy?
I know I will have to replace the tank, because of how the rust has gone tru, probably the whole bottom is rusted tru.
3. How much would a fuel tank cost?
I'm searching has I finish writing this... TIA
