its the only hole on the tank and as i like top restore rather then replace everything how could i go about fixing this?

im thinking of having the tank powder coated, so if it went off to sand blasting, could i use a chemical metal before the powder coating stage

also gave these a good wire brush ready for paint

dont know if its going to be a waist of money having it sandblasted, it looks worse then it really is now Ive wire wheeled it back

might just do it and try and weld a plate over the hole, either way its practice i guess :tard:

It's not the petrol that's the problem it's the fumes from the petrol which are in there.

Well im not on about tipping it out then going,yep,that'll do then striking up the welder am i:roll:
Just saying if you make sure the fumes are absolutely gone then its perfectly safe to do so.
