Holes in the fuel tank

[captaink]

I've seen less holes in a bingo card, perhaps dump it.
If your a true restoration guy with lots of time you can repair it,
Weld a plate over the whole bottom ?

What is the bike model again ?

[El__burro]

Well let's say that
on one side, another tank may have the same problem.
I thought mine was immaculate.
Hopefully Rich's is.
I have 2 other tanks stripped off that could eventually come as a good part swap.

This sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunities.

Ps. it's a cb750 k2.
Tank is different from others.

Thank you.

Hi,
    In the past, I have had good long term results with tinplate and solder.

If you have another 2 tanks, then why not use one of them ?

[El__burro]

Because they are not a straight fit.

[tom400f]

Because they are 250/360 tanks? And by swap you meant swap for a 750 tank?

[El__burro]

If anyone does not need one or needs another..
Surely 750 are less common but it is worth asking.
Thanks

[El__burro]

what tank is that in the picture above?
I am thinking of adapting it but probably end up selling it.
any idea?
any offers?

thanks

CB250G5  CB360G5 twin (the ones with the sh*te engines) Try offering it on hondatwins.net or eBay

[Johnwebley]

what about solder,or silver solder small plates over the holes ?? if it works for radiators ??

[El__burro]

Thanks,  hopefully these 250 and 350 g5 will become very popular soon.
John, "unfortunately" I am on holiday but I am thinking of trying mig welding the holes once back.
Thanks

I would braze or solder the holes and use a proper epoxy liner inside. Mig will just blow it to hell being that thin.

[mike the bike]

Aye, what he said.  It'll s4ill leak again though unless you use some tank lining stuff.

Leave the poor man be, I bet all he can think about whilst swimming in the warm waters of wherever he is , is his petrol tank with holes.


Looks like one of the Spanish islands , maybe Greece ?
Looks like a cove in Majorca I have been too last year

Sun, sea and petrol tanks...how better could life be.

Rest assured the holes will be there when you return
