About 12 years ago, I used it to patch a puncture in the gas tank of my Honda big red 3 wheeler. I sanded to bare metal and prepped and cleaned the area with 91% rubbing alchohol . I covered the inside of the tank with a small piece of masking tape before filling the hole with JB weld. I gave it about three or four days to cure. After that, I sanded it smooth and painted it Honda red, and now I'm writing this 12 years later. It still holds gas and doesn't leak; in fact, if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know there was a hole. Now, I'm not familiar with diesel because I've never dealt with it before. My guess is that if you prepare the area properly and remove all residue, it will work just fine.
The difficulty is in cleaning the metal first. Replace the oil pan or hire a professional to weld it.
Depends. Your valve cover's material may swell or shrink as a result of heat and cold. Whether or not J- It's unclear whether B Weld will move. You'll have to de-energize if you try it. To ensure a strong bond, grease the contact areas. Please let us know how it goes.
"Mixed in a 1: 1 ratio." 1. It cures to form a permanent bond that can be shaped, filed, sanded, and drilled. " This quote is taken directly from the package, but I know for a fact that after we accidentally drilled a larger hole and filled it with JB Weld, we were able to drill a smaller hole without difficulty.

To begin, there is the " reinforced with steel Steel is not listed as an ingredient on the legal MSDS safety sheets, so this description is dubious. br>Second: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the Bolts with a tensile strength of 112,000 to 116,000 pounds per square inch are common. This item is an adhesive rather than a genuine weld replacement. The tensile strength is listed as 3,950 PSI in the Product Description, and the J-factor is listed as 0. 5,020 PSI (better) is stated on the B package. However, it is still a long way from 114,000 PSI. Third, the search is described as "jw weld" in the search description at the top of the ad. "jb weld" is the correct term. It's harder to find in a search because of the typo. br> It's a good adhesive in general, and I've been using it for decades. But don't expect it to be as strong as a rudimentary acetylene gas weld, which is roughly 30 times stronger.
This product has been a lifesaver for me for more than 20 years. The only drawback is that it is this industrial drab gray color, which means it isn't suitable for all jobs. This was used to connect the plastic fan blade to the motor shaft of a bathroom vent fan. I clean the fan a few times a year, and the JB Weld is still in great shape! Metal and plastic have always had and always will have a permanent bond.
I've ordered and reordered this item because it works well, especially for concealing unsightly welds. Misapplication on my part causes hit-or-miss results. Did I mess it up? br>Grinding it off and trying again is simple. It's possible to keep unused products for later use. When regular welding is difficult, this method works well on boat bimini poles.
This is one of the most effective repair epoxies on the market. When fully cured, it's a tough nut to crack. You'll need some patience because this isn't one of those quick fixes. At room temperature, it takes about 24 hours to cure completely. br>I used it to fix a stress crack in a Lawn Boy mower deck that had developed around the motor base. It was ground down to bare metal, degreased, and a liberal bead of JB Weld was applied top and bottom. So far, it's held up admirably and shows no signs of giving way. Because it cures to a dark gray color, it's not for cosmetic use. But if you're looking for something more powerful, you'll have to look elsewhere. It's the real deal.
This stuff is fantastic if you follow the instructions. There is no way to speed up the process of fully setting and curing. You must strictly adhere to the given instructions. Once the JB weld has hardened, use a file to shape the dried and cured resin to your specifications.
I haven't been able to find anything better.
It appears to be holding up well after being used to stop a minor leak at a joint on an old iron drain pipe.
