Reply To: Caille Neptune Gas Tank Repair?

Joe, the sheet metal is not galvanized. It has a little flash rust on it, and I scrubbed
it with phosphoric acid and wiped it down with some WD40.
Thanks for the reminder to clean it shiny before soldering.

If I end up using these practice pieces for a tank, I was toying with the idea
of putting gas tank sealer in it when I’m done. Pretty sure this plain
sheet metal won’t hold together 100 years like the original Terne stuff.

Prepare to be boarded!
