rkeywood Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 You could try Bryan and Son in Camdon Road, Tunbridge Wells 01892 544635. His main business is radiator repairs but he does tanks as well. He's well known for repairing classic and vintage stuff. I've used him a couple of times for radiator jobs and he's been very good. When I was in there a couple of years back he was talking of retiring so may have gone by nowRobert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgm Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hi JulianAndy has ali welded several tanks in the past but if it is starting to perforate in several spots you would probably be wiser to replace it with a new tank. Otherwise you end up chasing the leaks and the time and labour costs don't justify the repair.Best wishes PGM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative IanW Posted May 15, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted May 15, 2021 I had a fuel tank leak two years ago. I tried patching it with some sealant, which worked for a while but eventually started leaking again.Eventually I bit the bullet and I purchased a new tank from Redline. Replacing the old one was straightforward and also gave me the opportunity to adjust the float for the fuel gauge to give a more accurate reading.The old tank has been up-cycled into a flower planter.

HendrixsWhiteStratReturns Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Ditto earlier comment - mine had evidently been patched earlier by someone in its life and then one day it dumped the lot on a BP forecourt....horrendous and made me popular with the garage ( not!). Get a new tank, piece of mind alone is worth it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangomikeromeo Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 On the upcycle theme: flywheel, cam and a few vvc bits became this. It's banned from the house as ugly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted September 1, 2021 Member Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hope that's not a misunderstanding of lightened flywheel?: - )Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
