Re: Aluminum Gas Tank Repair

[Buccaneer]

Well, I’m fairly happy with my results…… after all, the tank
didn’t blow up in my face, and it’s about two table spoons from
full liquid capacity! It went from needing 1/2" on bondo on the
back of the tank, to a skim. I couldn’t do much with the small
deep dent on the end of the tank, but did improve the general
area somewhat. Suppose that dent would have been a good
candidate for the slide hammer and torch, but thought I’d
quit while I was ahead! Thanks for all the help and tips.
Much appreciated!
