Can anyone tell me how to effectively fix a hole in the fuel bladder? Any and all advice is welcomed.

ATL fixes their own in house and Saldana used to have a place they sent theirs to, depending on which brand of fuel cell, you have. Fuel Safe, just have to check with them.

Locate hole & thoroughly clean area & apply Shoo goo on the outside of bladder.

I had a weeper and did this, it worked. No big holes, just an aged bladder with tiny pinholes.

ShooGoo available at Walmart. Workes great on Alcohol bladders. Do not know about gasoline bladders.

As little as I like about Wal-Wart, I might have to pay someone to get some for me, my wife won't, and I've never been in one! Bob
