Saving Gas Tank

[Matthew P]

I used plumbers solder on my tank as well. After several false starts due to pinholes I eventually got it sealed up. It appears to have been holding fine for a couple of years now.

Lovely work Mariano! I also have to repair my fuel tanks someday.....not sure if I go the route of welding it with a constant flow of exhaust gasses passing through the tank while welding......or if I go the less risky route with soldering.

Mariano, is this a late type Gun tractor with the straight body? It never occured to me that these had unique fuel tanks under the rear seats, in stead of them mouted on the side of the chassis rails.
