| I noticed several drops of Jet A accumulating on the bottom of one of my Jetcopter saddle tanks while refueling. Further inspection revealed a small crack in the tank where the rear bracket is welded on.
Has anyone had this problem and, if so, what is the best fix? I've tried JB Weld, but it still leaks a little. Both the tank and bracket are aluminum, which is not an easy metal to weld. The tank has very thin walls. Just a little too much heat and ... you've got a bigger hole! Anybody have any suggestions?

.... I used to complain that i had to fly with the Dubro tanks, but i had heard of the aluminum ones cracking before .... also, try sending a PM to "optikaman" he might still have his aluminum tanks from his JC that he might sell ......
