V8MoneyPit:
Got to replace the fuel tank on the 110 'cos it's sprung a leak. The V8 uses enough juice without fuel consumption while standing still  :lol:

I see there is a cover over it. Do I need this fitted or is it best left off? Looks like a bit of a rust trap to me. Any thoughts?

Xtremeteam:
That "cover" is actually holding the fuel tank in,2 or 3 bolts in2 the back xmember & the same at the front,since ur replacing it due 2 corrosionm get a galvy tank & give it a paint aswell,my dad has got 1 on his v8 110 cos a week after buying it it2 sprung a leek,

V8MoneyPit:
I guess I would have found that out when I remove the old tank  :lol:

The tank that arrived today is one made in Canada! It is galvanised, but I'll give it a coat of paint too. Will Hammerite stick OK to the zinc?

muddysteve:
chuck some etch primer on it 1st and it'll stick like glue

Flowerman:
I,m just about to do the same job with my 110 V8, so I'll make sure the new tank's galvanised. Thanks.
