Does JB Weld hold up to diesel fuel?

 

[CKelley1]

yes i have used it several times

Check out J-B Stick as well. I like it better on some jobs. It sets up faster.

JB Weld will hold up on a two-stroke motorcycle casing, and that means it will hold up to anything short of the space shuttle.

Found this:

Besides many things auto related, a guy I worked with lost a filling and 1/2 a tooth, put JB weld on it and no more pain. Now I dont think its too smart to put those chemicals in your mouth, but he's not the only one that has done it. He got the idea from somebody. He's the same guy that glues cuts shut with superglue after squirting them out with Brake cleaner... Ouch.

I know gas and oil doesn't bother it. You just have to make sure the surfaces are free of any residue, and ruffed up before applying. I've repaired holes in differentials with it (Land Rover), and fixed a broken ear on a bell housing where the starter bolts up (old Cougar). Just recently attached rubber bumpers to the bottom of a cutting board in the kitchen; stops it from sliding around.

JB Weld is great stuff. I've used it several times. The most impressive thing I've done with it was reattach a broken stud on my old F250 390 cu in cast iron engine. In all the years I had that old truck the stud never come off.

I use it all the time - both the 5 minute stuff, as well as the stronger overnight stuff - used on all types of repairs, never let me down yet! As stated earlier, just make sure to clean and if necessary - roughen smooth surfaces - for larger repairs or reconstruction, add some chopped up metal window screen pieces as a structural binder/reinforcement...

Anyone try it on a "53" block? Just curious.

I did and it worked for about 3 days.

JB and WD40?

If it moves and shouldn't, JB weld. If it doesn't move and should, WD 40!

All you need in your tool box is those two... .

I'm afraid THAT one is outside even JB Weld's capabilities - the 53 block cracks open and close with changes in heat and engine stresses - some sort of stout external plate covering the crack, with application of a top grade flexible sealant between that plate and the engine block similar to silicon that allows a small degree of movement, might do it...

It works GREAT for a busted front housing, caused by a killer dowel pin! Been working for several years on the '98 work truck. Cleaned up the crack and area between the block and housing, put silicone between the block and housing and JB Weld on the crack, then put the cover back on with a new gasket. Never removed the housing, only loosened the bolts to get silicone in the gasket area near the KDP. I repaired an antique Briggs gasoline tank with it recently and it is working great... . Holds up fine to diesel too.

If it is in a water jacket See if you can find some liquid glass flush engine and put in the L G let it idle till the leak stops let set over night good to go. Do not tighten the cap till you let ie set over night. You might have to to start it to leak then gest back it off to the first notch. ==GOOD LUCK
