fuel tank repairs

(1/3) > >>

ian_s:
i got a couple of rust holes in my diesel tank, can anyone recommend a way to fix them?

i've been told i can just fibreglass over the holes, after giving it a good clean up and wash.
or should i get it welded?

or should i just stop being tight and buy me a new one?

If it's a Series fuel tank, then as far as I am aware you are not able to buy a new one.  The Series fuel tank replacements for 88-inch vehicles appear to be 90 fuel tanks!  :shock:

I got a Series tank from Paddocks :wink:

The right way to repair would be tank out, flush and de vapour the tank, then braise plating over the holes, just a case of how many other holes there are

But if another tank is available get that, or something that can mount into the tub if you have the room is another option

Looking at Paddocks they do them for 40.25+vat = 47.30

Personally if the tank is rusting that bad, I would go for a replacement and treat it up accordingly before fitting
