Hey All,
So about a year an half ago I was taking off the lid on the fuel tank, where the in-tank filter is attached too (Cargo bay of Pajero). I was checking and replacing the in tank fuel filter.
In the process of taking that lid or top of the fuel tank, I broke two of the studs that hold the lid to the fuel tank.
This weekend I am planing on removing the fuel tank, to clean it, as contaminated fuel or diesel bug has got in to the tank.
I though that since I was taking the tank out I would try and repair those studs. I just don't know how to replace them. I cannot weld or have access to a welder. Rivnut or nutsert I think wouldn't seal; then there is the issue of trying to keep the metal shards out of the tank when i drill the old studs out.
Is there any product that can be attached/screwed onto the existing studs, so a nut can be attached, holding that lid in place.
Any advice boffens?
