Re: Repairing a 21 Gallon Gas Tank
Posted by HH56 On 2017/4/2 10:08:55
Wes, that is quite the project and sure hope it is successful. Finding pin holes is not good and even seeing shiny metal, I would wonder how salvageable that tank will be in the long term. If the metal is that thin, even with a repair of holes you find now and applying more sealer it seems like a leak waiting to happen.
I am wondering if anyone has ready access to current tank catalogs such as the old Spectra catalogs now listed on ebay -- or has a source that could obtain one. The illustrations in those catalogs, in addition to showing shapes also list dimensions. For that matter, even those old catalogs might still be a viable reference.
If a new tank is available that could be used with maybe just modifying a fill or sender location or maybe do other similar but still minor mods that seems like it would be less work and have a better chance of long term reliability.
