fuel leak

[PISTOL PETE]

i was running today and noticed i had a fuel leak. its seeping out from around the rubber plug that the hoses go thru. not out out the hose holes but around where the plug and tank seal. anyone running into this? fixes?

I cleaned the tank really good, emptied it and dried it out. then gobbed shoe goo around the plug and hoses. leak was gone and never came back

im gonna try some gasket maker called RIGHT STUFF since largescale rc is out of stock on the mcd one.i have used it in the past on a bmw x5 gas tank that someone put a self tapping screw thru by accident at work. it never leaked again and this was 5-6 years ago. but your right the key is the clean and dry part
