Hole in IMS tank

[AZCPP]

Has anyone ever used JBWeld to patch a hole in a plastic tank (IMS)? my almost new IMS had a buldge in the side of the tunnel that touched the backbone and rubbed a hole in it's self. I know I should have put foam on the backbone when I put it on and have done so now but, I have used JB to patch the tank and if it doesn't work I'll plastic weld it. Has anyone else used JB like this?

call IMS and they might hook you up with a new tank or a discounted price

on my dads IMS tank near the pet c0ck area it would leak, so i took it to IMS and they gave us a good deal on one


good luck

JB weld will just get brittle and crack. Just plastic weld it and be done with it. I did that to my YZF450.

+1 on calling IMS they either hook you up with a deal or will replace it depending on the circumstances

its worth giving them a call and telling them what happened

I received an email from Jack Manley@IMS today and he said if I wanted to send it to them they would inspect it and either replace it or discount me a new one. But, I may have f-ed myself by using JB on it so I could use it last weekend. I'll see what he says and post the answer.

Rub a bar of soap on it, no joke it works ever time and will last long.

This is where I sent my email and Mr. Manley replied. info@imsproducts.com

Here is the reply I got from Mr. Manley today after I told him I felt I had voided any warranty by using JB Weld on the tank.

"If at any point you want us to take a look at it, please do not hesitate to let us know -- we'd be happy to look at it, even if it has been JB welded. Thanks for your email!"


That impresses me!

They really are pretty stand-up people. I have a half a dozen people who would attest to the excellent customer service.
