I have a 3 and a half gallon aluminum stand up IMCO fuel tank. The plastic on my bottom tank strap wore threw creating a slight leak in the tank. I shipped it to IMCO and they said the aluminum was to thin for them to repair which I think is bullshit. I know it could be repaired but none of my friends will weld on fuel tanks.
The tank has been steam cleaned,presure washed and sitting for months. Does anyone know anyone who can safely repair the tank. Otherwise I'll just get a new one. |

maybe you need new friends
Or call Vic Esposito, maybe he will do it for you. I heard he just finished a online welding coarse on aluminum.
good luck |
