    I have a 33gallon tank you can have that is just in my way. It has however been repaired once upon a time with the gas tank repair crap. Never had a problem with it after using it.

    I just bought a new sending unit for this tank so I'm going to try and fix it. Thanks for the offers on the tanks though.

    For the skid on my bumper for my white truck, I need to bend 1/4 " plate on a 7.825" radius. Any ideas on how to do this and make it look good?

    When welding on tanks, I usually use a 1:1 simple green/water mixture to slosh around a few times in it, then stick an air hose or use the exhaust port on a shop vac to blow in it to help displace any vapors and dry it out.

    If its just pin holes don't weld it. You will create a headache for yourself chasing blow outs. They make a 2 stage tank repair product the uses acid to prep the inside the tank and the another part that is like thinned Jb weld that you slosh around in the tank. It will fill all the holes and clear up the rust. I've used it on several tractor tanks. Ill find the name of it in the morning.

    What about welding a piece of 16ga. around the entire area that's rusty? it would only be 2"x2" and then do the 2 part tank treatment on it.

    I like to cut the pin-holed part out and put the patch piece on the inside of the tank if it's that bad.

    POR-15 has a Fuel Tank Sealer. Just don't get it on your hootus... Have a kit too.

    I need to bend 1/4 aluminum plate for the skid plate on my bumper. I talked to custom fab and the only way they can bend plate is with a brake. I need it bent on a radius around the outside of the tubes that hang down. Any ideas? I guess I could probably try bolting the top down and bendind it around the bottom with a torch but I'm not sure how even I could make it with 1/4" plate. Ideas?

    I'm pretty sure that could be rolled, but don't know enough about that process to know how accurate the tangent edges can be placed.

    1/4" aluminum is probably going to crack on a press brake.

    The ends will be flat unless you cut the piece long and then trim it to size. If you take your time and know what you are doing with the roller the tangent edges can be place very precisely. Keyword: know what you are doing.
