Fuel Tank Repair for Leaks, Straps, and Contaminated Tanks

Fuel tanks hang off the side of the frame where they take road debris, vibration, and the occasional impact. Worn strap liners let tanks shift and chafe, fittings loosen, and seams can crack. Inside the tank, water and sediment build up over time and end up in your fuel filters. Wetcreek Repair Solutions repairs fuel tanks, mounting hardware, and fuel delivery components on semis and commercial trucks throughout Joplin, MO.

Fuel Tank Repairs and Services We Provide

A leaking tank wastes fuel, creates a fire and environmental hazard, and can lead to violations at inspection. We locate the source of the leak, whether it's a cracked seam, a chafed spot under a strap, or a loose fitting, and determine whether the tank can be repaired or should be replaced. Straps, liners, and brackets are replaced so the tank stays secure and protected from wear. We also service vents, caps, pickup tubes, and contaminated tanks to keep clean fuel flowing to the engine.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can a leaking aluminum fuel tank be repaired?
    Many aluminum tanks can be repaired after they've been drained, cleaned, and made safe for welding. Severely damaged or corroded tanks are often better replaced. We'll recommend the safest, most cost-effective option.

  • Why is my fuel tank leaking near the straps?
    When strap liners wear out or straps loosen, the tank can shift and rub against the strap, eventually wearing through the aluminum. Replacing liners and keeping straps tight helps prevent these leaks.

  • What is microbial growth in a diesel fuel tank?
    When water collects in the bottom of a tank, bacteria and fungi can grow, forming sludge that clogs fuel filters. Tank cleaning, water removal, and fuel treatment help solve and prevent the problem.

  • What are signs of a clogged fuel tank vent?
    A clogged vent can cause the engine to lose power or stall from fuel starvation, a rush of air when the cap is removed, or in severe cases, a tank that starts to deform. Vents should be kept clear and inspected regularly.

  • Should fuel tank straps be replaced along with the tank?
    It's a good idea. Old straps and liners may be worn, stretched, or corroded, and reusing them can cause the new tank to chafe and leak. New straps and liners give the tank a secure, protected mount.
