can some one help me out what fuel tank is this







was giving the worst of the rust a good going ovder with a wire brush and the found this



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




not the biggest best'est ever update but, mehhh

Tank is scrap unless you weld it.

Weld a fuel tank!! Good luck with that! Not something i'd fancy doing, chemical metal if you trust it TJ

[Andy]

Aslong as the fuel is drained out its alright.

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

[phunkynova]

I would not weld it they can go BANG! try brazing it ( I hope the spelling is correct)

[turbojolt]

there is no fuel init and hasnt been in years and years, was watching wheeler dealers and they were using steam to make sure there was no vapor left in there might be worth a go

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
Just saying if you make sure the fumes are absolutely gone then its perfectly safe to do so.
