    fuel tank repairs

    Does anyone know of a good repairer for a 16gal tank and radiator? The guy I have used in the past is a bit stroppy and I would love to take the work somewhere else.(Brisbane area)

    Might be better investing in some heavy duty soldering gear and doing it yourself. It is very hard to fine people willing to tackle repairs on used fuel tanks. I did post the steps I have used when repairing tanks on here... But search is diabled and can;t be bothered with google.

    But apart from what I posted, pre-tin the (fuel tank) repair section, and use copper for the repair, works very well.

    Btw - I have an aftermarket 16 gal tank in GC (rust free) that I need to get rid of - it is in Brisbane. EDIT - but if you want a concourse vehicle this tank would not be suitable.

    Another option is an old Austrian bloke I know - Erich Bachmayer at tingalpa. He isn't doing a lot of work these days, but would be able to do it if he is in the country.

    If you are interested I can give you his name and number (he works from home so don't want to post it on here).
