Tank Seams?
01/03/06 at 16:37:35
 
Hey gang,

Well, I hate tank seams.

If I "gently" take a hammer to my tank seams, is there any chance it will hold gas afterwards?

What about cutting/grinding and welding (after the gas is drained and the tank allowed to air out completely)?

Keep in mind I don't really care about looks except for getting rid of the seams.  So dents and scuffed spraypaint aren't much of an issue for me.

Did a search for "tank seams" too... no results except to learn that they are soldered...

Thanks folks!

I wouldnt mess with it personally.  Torque and me toyed with the idea then realized that sacrefising the integrity of the gas tank wasnt worth it.

I will tell u a kewl idea I did.  DOOR MOLDING!  yes door molding.  I got some chrome door molding and it hides it and looks great.

Maybe u can get some and paint it black or some other color.

Just an idea

If you are going to weld your petrol tank you could do worse than put the tank on a car exhaust for a couple of minutes, shouldn't explode after that.
