Im currently building another plane. Being lazy - I didnt remove the fuel tank before drilling the hole for the throtlle cable in the firewall. Well While doing this I nicked the fuel tank with the drill. I didnt pierce the tank - but did nick it. Would I be able to patch it with something to be safe or should I just replace the tank? If I can patch, with what? If I should replace, where can I get the exact same tank the Great Planes models come with. I looked on tower but they arent the same. I'd like for the neck to line up to the opening in the firewall. All of the other tanks such as dubro and sullivan are different and would require a mod of some sort to hold the tank in. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Toss it. A leaky tank will cause you nothing but grief. It's easy to replace a tank. If you've got an ARF, the odds of finding the exact same tank on your local hobby shop shelves are slim. ARF tanks are rarely the same as retail tanks. The ones you'll buy locally will have their capacity in fluid ounces, while ARF tanks are almost always Metric. ARF tanks are generally lower quality, too.

All you need to do is find something of about the same capacity with similar dimensions. It will fit, and it won't be tough to do. It may not line up with a firewall hole, but that's no big deal.

Thanks Mike...to the garbage it will go!

Throw it away and get a new tank. Fuel tanks are next to impossible to patch, and considering the low cost of a new tank it's much easier to just replace it.
