I have a red plastic jerry-can shaped perfectly to fit on the back of my sled. I can’t find the same one to purchase. It has a slight leak in one corner. Any recommendations on how one can seal it?

Permatex and JB Weld both make a fuel tank repair kit. Around 10-15 bucks I think.

There is a product called "Seal All" it is specifically for that purpose.
I have used it in the past, work's awesome and its permanent.

Yep I’ve had great results using this��

Fill it up with water, take a lighter to the leaking area to melt it shut.

Step 1 : put some silicone on the hole .

Step 2 : Fill the Jerry can with a mixture of half piss and half gas add a pinch of kerosene for good measure

Step 3: put Jerry can conspicuously on your driveway or back of truck so some ****wit steals it

Step 4 : laugh to yourself as some thief if having grief with his newfound "gasoline "

Step 5: realize your a tightwad and go buy a new jerry can

:rolleyes:

If you take the time to read his
original post he states that he CAN'T find one to buy, not that he is too cheap.
