so as a last resort im turning to u lovely people

so, has any body got a fuel tank for sale?????????

many thanks in advanced

Not got one, but sure you can get brand new ones for Ł50, i'd get a new one tbh!! Makesure it's deffo the correct tank for your car! needs a fuel pot thingy inside to hold the fuel so when you turn a corner the pump doesnt go dry, sure someone will explain better.

 

where from ?????

tbh im not bothered about it being new, it would out last the car lol,
just need a tank so i can get it through the mot and decide what im doin with it?


its cracked on the drivers side mounting bracket, is this where they all go

 

Usually go where the fuel pipe to pump comes off the tank, usually wears and seeps petrol.

Not sure where from, but if you but 2nd hand makesure it has no rust inside!!

 

If you're on a tight budget remove the tank and LEAVE IT for a good couple of weeks to dry out and weld the crack up.

New tanks are on eBay regularly, about Ł60 plus postage IIRC. Second hand tanks are getting hard to find now

 

u an get repair putty for tanks if ur desperate!

 

i though the putty would be eaten buy the petrol???

 

No i think you can buy special fuel tank putty. I myself am not a fun of any forms of putty cos you just know its going to let you down sometime (well thats how i think). You don't have much to los eby trying it.

Or, as i said, whip the tank off leave it to dry out for a couple of weeks and weld it up

 

not excited with the tought of welding it, and tbh its got a fair bit of surface rust so wouldnt clean weld ne way


any ideas where i can get this dude putty???

 

have one if you cant find one.

 

There you go you've got 3 options now

Crack on

 

cheers lads,
appreciate all ur help

oddkid, u mey have a call buy the end of the week

 

i have one too,if your stuck but its been coated with rustproofer
