Description
G Series Tech-Patches for non-pressurized pipe and tank repair.
G Series Tech-Patches will PERMANENTLY repair metal and plastic (poly) tanks that are not under significant pressure. Please read how to “Plus” your Tech-Patch (at bottom).
If your tank or pipe system is under significant pressure, you will want to use an XT Tech-Patch, not a G Series patch. See below. If you only put regular gas and NEVER additives and/or premium gas, you can use a G Series patch for you gas tank repair. Otherwise, to repair metal or plastic gas tanks, please use one of our PTFE Tech-Patches. See below. Except for these two examples, tank and pipe repair should be done using the G Series Tech-Patch. Since both surfaces of G Series patches are reinforced, the patches resistance to weather, dirt, grease, oil, etc., is maximized.
G Series Tech-Patches – a defined, developed and validated technology.
If you’re new to this site, you will probably be skeptical of our claim that Tech-Patches will seal holes and cracks in any pipe or tank substrate, except for glass and stainless steel. Know that oru G Series and XT Tech-Patches have, over the last five years, been defined, developed and validated. G Series and XT Tech-Patches always work. PTFE Tech-Patches are newer so we can’t make the absolute claim that they always work. So far, so good.
Tech-Patches are made using fluorosilicone (FVMQ) which is one of the most chemical, weather and water resistant polymers available. For most industrties, FVMQ is the polymer of choise for high stress environments. Testing has shown that fluorosilicone has excellent resistance to gasoline and diesel, but only fair resistance to high octane/cetane (aromatic) fuels. Once that weakness was identified, we needed a solution.
Science/testing has also shown that PTFE has excellent resistance to the high octane/cetane fuels so we used our patented Polymer Bonding Process to bond PTFE tape to G Series Tech-Patches. Again, so far, so good. If you’re still skeptical, please read our review.
Choose the correct Tech-Bond Kit for the type of tank that you need to fix.
For plastic (poly) gas tanks/containers
Choose an Economy Poly (Coverage – approx: 30 sq in) Kit, a Poly (Coverage – approx: 100 sq in) Kit or a Poly Plus (Coverage – approx: 100 sq in) Kit for repairing plastic (poly) gas tanks or containers. Our patented Polymer Bonding Process will allow you to repair these otherwise unrepairable items.
For metal gas tanks/containers
Choose an Economy (Coverage – approx: 30 sq in), Starter (Coverage – approx: 100 sq in) or Starter Plus (Coverage – approx: 200 sq in) Kit.
Note: For a bond to form between a PTFE Tech-Patch and any metal substrate, pipe or tank, the metal surface must be abraded to either a “polished surface” or, with steel, a “near white” surface. Anything less in surface preparation will, over time result in bond failure.
For plastic (poly) gas tanks/containers
Choose an Economy Poly (Coverage – approx: 30 sq in) Kit, a Poly (Coverage – approx: 100 sq in) Kit or a Poly Plus (Coverage – approx: 100 sq in) Kit for repairing plastic (poly) gas tanks or containers. Our patented Polymer Bonding Process will allow you to repair these otherwise unrepairable items.

Making your Tech-Patch “Plus”.
In situations when extra protection against abrasion is needed, apply several coatings of our SI adhesive to the outside of your Tech-Patch. Examples of when you need to have a coating might include:
- Where the Tech-Patch will be subjected to unusual stress.
- If there is a strap holding the gas tank to the undercarriage.
- If you’re repairing a larger hole, the coatings will resttict the expansion of the patch.
- If you’re rehabiliting a sewer line.
If you want to “Plus” your Tech-Patch, make sure you have enough of the SI adhesive. Step-by-step instructions for plussing your patch are included. Important note: For the larger patches, we will provide an 8 ounce bottle of SI Black instead of the normal 4 2-ounce bottles. Just make sure that when you cut the hole in the nozzle, you don’t make that hole too big. The will be a spare Yorker cap nozzle.
Google Reviews
Both the Polymer Bonding Process and Tech-Patches are new technologies. But our reviews confirm that both technologies are very effective. Simply put, they always work. Once your a customer, we would appreciate if you would leave a Google review. Link below. Thank you.

Sewer Rehabilitation
Sewer rehabilitation is a growing industry, BUT
- There hasn’t been an effective solution that is easy to apply.
- if the sewer line is HDPE pipe, then the degree of difficulty goes up substantially.
Plussing your G Series Plus patch is easy, even if the pipe is HDPE and plussing your patch will add strength and durability.
