Default Fuel Cell Bladder Repair

I have an ATL bantam bladder and it has a very small spot where it is weeping fuel. Anybody ever repaired one of these and if so, what will bond to the Kevlar?

I can’t answer your question of repair, however If a bladder started leaking, I would worry about the future integrity of the bladder and it forming other leaks. A while back, my bladder was weeping and the only way I knew was I kept smelling gas, but no drips. It turned out the pan underneath was catching the drips. Unchecked, it could have had led to some undesirable results on track. I replaced the bladder. For me, it just was not worth the risk.

I agree wholeheartedly. Have a new bladder in order but the weeping spot I found was due to a rubbing issue that I have corrected. Leak checked bladder with it out of case and that was only spot I found.
