Ok  now ladies and gents , your advice please.

I am gettign conflicting answers from places and people regarding a new freshly manufactured tank .

Do I  need to seal  the inside of the said piece or not.?

Some shops have said yes, some customisers have said no.

I need to know for when I get it and I have narrowed it down to 3 styles.

GDAY THERE SCORP WHAT STYLES ARE YOU LOOKING AT ,I HAVE JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER TANK 2" STRETCHED WAITING FOR IT TO COME I AM UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY DO NEED TO BE SEALED ON THE INSIDE BUT I,M LIKE YOU NOT REALLY SURE

hey Andy want to drop the caps... i'm going deaf with all the shouting

is this better

 thanks mate...

I knew I shoulda stopped looking (damn lunch break,shoulda stayed in the shed)

The manufacture instructions also say to seal  but is this just a conspiracy  to spend more and un necessary dollars

 

anyways I have found these and now contemplating .........

 

sorry  they  took up  to much  space .you can find the code in the catalogue ...http://www.customchrome.com/catalogs/ccp2007/t1.asp?page=950. starting on this page

a sportsbob 3.5gl(15769), a king peanut 3.25 gl,( 25573)  a nother sportsbob 3.2 gl (15655), flush mnt cap King peanut 3.25gl (15650) and a full kit sportsbob with instruments on tank (25586)

 

Scorp.. I am sure i have seen something somewhere about sealing fuel tanks... possibly on ricers, but think it would apply to all tanks...

Thanks to Uncle Ho and our little trip I have got so many ideas running round my liddle head now lol but at least I have narrowed them ey .

Thanks Tony

 

ok back  to the shed

looking ba bit further... sealing is a three part process - acid wash - neutraliser - sealant... this is to stop rust not stop leaks. Also some comments that this process is not used any more on new tanks
