Thread: fuel tank repairs

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.

Thanks for the thought maybe I should take his abuse with good humour and get what I need done

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).

how bads the damage to the tank. Ive got most of the gear to do solder up and derusting drills on one if you like your welcome to come over and DIY the tank.

Hi mate
Send a PM to Graz.
Pretty sure he can tell you of an aviation product used to seal aircraft tanks.He has told me about the stuff but I cant remember the name of the stuff.

Is top stuff and works really well even on reasonably large holes.

Thanks for all your help I have stewed over this all night and I think I will repair it myself I have the tools and I am a tradie even though I spend most of the day in an office. Anyone know who sells the POR15?
