With all the bikes in the garage sitting close to a water heater can't take the chance of any fuel leaks. Does anyone have a more permanent fix to close off the metal line exiting back of a CA KLR fuel tank? If I'd forgot to look or it started leaking could have been ugly. This particular line gets fuel into it from top of the tank when fuel sloshes around. The other (blue line) is open and vented to atmosphere. Ideas? BTW - the pipe exiting the tank is metal 1/4" with flare edge. Don't really want to weld it closed and go through all that BS to weld a fuel tank. > > If any of you CA KLR owners have removed this equipment be sure to check your work.

c-t, I suppose any good grade of epoxy would work; liquid steel, JBWeld. I know JBWeld works on gas tanks--I repaired a pinhole leak 18m ago and it still holds. I would suggest you use the JB QUICK. On a different stroke: Your post does not indicate if your hot water heater is gas/electric. Since you are concerned, I am guessing it is gas. Since you mention it is in a garage, (shudder) something is amiss with your building codes if it is GAS. I would NOT store gasoline in any form/container near a GAS hot water heater; in a gas can or contained in a motorcycle gas tank. If it is electric, go for it. It's not the leaking gas that will get you, but the vapors. If it is necessary to bring your bike in for storage, remove the gas tank to another location, and run the remaining fuel from the carb before storing it in the same space as a GAS hot water heater. revmaaatin.
