The Kiekhaefer cast aluminum tanks can be split, cleaned and resealed easily without
special tools or talent. Tanl halves seal by squeezing a gasket coated with gasket
sealer/contact cement…(Seal All and gasket stock available at any auto parts store)
Exacto razor knife, a couple pieces of plywood, a bolt/washers/nut setup, pen/pencil
and a little attention to detail are all that are needed. I have done several and made
a set of photos detailing every step and material required. I have found the tank haves
to be flat…no light showing under machinist’s straight edge.
At some point I will see about reposting the photos which vanished last time site went down.
