Hi,

My fuel Tank is galvanised, can anyone shed any light on it - I've tried to find a replacement one but cannot get one for love or money. Any idea's? Option is to buy a painted one, and have galvanised - but I'm looking at £75 to get it done.....

Next question is is it worth it....

You could bite the bullet and get an alloy one made?

I thought that galvanising tanks was a no no because the oil/ fuel can cause the zinc to flake off. Guess that i was told sh*t then.

Yeah - I bought it. You and I thought it was stainless at the time, but it aint. I looked up the make at the time Spectra I think. Turns out not stainless, but it was electroplated or something (not galved) and just looked stainless.

Anyway, with my rebuild nearly done I found my original tank is leaking - so I guess i am finally gonna fit that one I bought from you.

I gave one away to a mate last year! I had it come with a series 3 I bought but my father in law had nicked to use as a trailer support!

So I replaced that with a lump of wood and gave the tank to a mate.
