Just finished off the fuel tank for the Alfa 7, I'm please with the outcome. Thought I'd share with you. and yes the mounts have been added since.

Regards Dan.

I'm probably being blind but how do you get fuel into that tank?

Lol, I haven't decided where to put it yet, but fair point, not 100% finished

ATB Dan.

Ah, ok. At least you've not forgotten about it. Seeing that now makes me wish I'd made my own tank for the Midget.

If I was building from scratch again, I would top mount it as on the back panel, filling up is a pita

Go on, admit it...

I can't remember the name of it, but Loctite do a compound for rinsing around tanks and it helps seal them from the inside.

May be useful as a belt-and-braces approach.

Whilst I like belt and braces, I'll just make it properly first time (well after maybe a few little spot welds)

I pressurize it to 2-3 Psi and use Snoop to find and air leaks.

Regards Dan.

Sure - and that's a fine approach as well - if it's holding 2 PSI you're good.

I'll be using the loctite in my carbon tank to protect the fibres jsut in case there are split ones that then absorb petrol due to capillary action - it's a fairly standard approach.

still, that's a man's tank. Huge. my ... look at your massive tank, etc.

10.2 Gallons, should be enough to run a 3.0L V6 for a few miles
