The tanks were completely stripped back to bare metal so I could see if there were any pin holes. I pored methylated spirits into them and sloshed it around and there was no sign of a leak. Why metho? Well it is very fluid and will quite quickly get into any seams and escape to the outside. It then evaporates quickly as well.

More Lynx geny etc 057.jpg POR15 filling the rust pits. More Lynx geny etc 055.jpg More Lynx geny etc 060.jpg A coat of POR15 was painted onto the outside of the now right tank and then the tank sealed inside with POR15. Regards Rick.
