Reply To: Stripped Tank Threads

[NATHAN KILLIAN]

If you are really good with resins and whatnot, there could be something to be said about using the gas cap as a mold and placing it in the gas tank hole with some sort of lubricant so that the gas cap can be removed.  That is just a thought, and I don’t know if it would work.  otherwise, you could probably take the gas cap from some other fuel tank and weld it on, but at that point you might as well be looking for a new tank.  Richard’s suggestions would work a lot better than those two.
