Tank repair

(1/6) > >>

Bullit:
Hi guys I'm going to need to have my tank repaired and wondered if anybody knew of somewhere in Essex that might be able to help.
I was going to paint it but have now decide I want to keep it looking the way it does

Trigger:
Looks like it is past of no return. Get it blasted to see what you are left with.

hairygit:
I don't think it's even worth spending the money to get it blasted, it'll be easier and pro ably cheaper to search out a good replacement tank. Fuel tanks can be tricky to weld at the best of times, but the amount of rot along the side to base seam would be a challenging job for a highly skilled sheet metalworker/t.i.g. welder, and that WILL be expensive!

Bullit,

You could try CW Classics along Rawreth Lane in Rayleigh - he repaired a small hole and minor corrosion along the similar area on my tank with a plate, but it was nowhere near as bad as the one you have !

Let me guess Bullit........is this an 'early' April Fool jape?

When I was an Apprentice I machined too much material off a part. My 'mentor' on the next Lathe told me to go to the Stores and ask for a 'Putting On Tool' to 'put the removed metal back onto the machined part'.

The Foreman took me (and the scrap part) all around the Factory so that everybody knew what I'd done. After this humiliating trek we arrived back by my Lathe where he opened the door overlooking the Irwell Canal where he told me to 'Chuck it in the cut lad........and your job now is to try not to fill it with any more scrap'.

I can still hear the catcalls to this day........
