How to repair split steel tank?
Hi all
I have two 3AJ tanks - a scratched one I was going to keep for touring, and a nicely painted one that I was going to flog to help pay for said touring.
The nicely painted one has developed a leak from the seam near the top fork yokes. Fuel is coming out of the seam and is also welling up through the paint (!) about 1cm from the seam.
I was going to:
- clean off the paint
- lay down a layer of JB Weld
However this is going to look really ugly. I'd like to use fibreglass but it won't stand up to petrol.
Any ideas other than forking out more than the tank is worth for a professional repair? Anyone in the UK want a slightly dodgy tank?
