Thoroughly sand the area that needs repair, then apply glue to the area that needs patching. Use a soldering iron to weld the damaged area. Tilt the oil drum so that the leak stops temporarily. Wipe the leaking area, apply glue to the leak, and wait for the glue to dry completely.

An oil leak from the fuel tank is no small matter! I experienced it once when my old car's rusty fuel tank developed a hole, spilling oil all over the ground. Immediately park the car in an open area, away from any fire hazards. For a temporary fix, use oil-resistant tape or automotive-specific sealant to patch the hole directly—wearing gloves is recommended. If the hole is small, you can temporarily seal it with soap or strong epoxy, but make sure to clean the leaking area thoroughly. Afterwards, it's essential to visit a repair shop to diagnose the cause, which could be due to tank aging or impact damage. Repair costs are usually low, but replacing the fuel tank is safer. Don’t ignore this issue—oil leaks can corrode asphalt roads and contaminate soil. Handle leaks carefully to prevent oil from entering drains. After that ordeal, I now regularly inspect my fuel tank, especially in winter when road salt accelerates corrosion.
