Re: Restoration/Rebuild of a Rowboat Motor Gas Tank

[jamesrfrom]

The steel that I used was the same thickness as the original and its not galvanized as it is not a good idea to use galvanize in situations where there is welding or soldering as the galvanized coating will give off toxic fumes when heated. As for the soldering I use a gas torch with a special tip that I use for doing body lead on vintage cars. It creates a large rose bud flame. For attaching the tags I use a large flat iron, I have a video of reassembling another tank. I will try to load the video.

Thanks
