todays project fuel tank

well my lwb fuel tank was well and truly fu*ked rotted out between the doubleskin underneath so rather than spend a few hundreds which i cant right now thought id build a new one, heres the pics of so far. and how im doing it, this is bye no means probly the right way but anyway here goes.

start off with old fuel tank, remove under side skid pan, this is the only bit i want



then your left with 2 bits, the tank and the second skin skid pan, heres the buggered tank.



then plasma cut roughly the side of tank out to make rough template, this also shows the baffle



then draw template and cut out



forgot to take few photos of fitting strengthening for the bit that goes around cross member sorry, heres fitting in the 3 bits of steel for u and tacking in.





bit further along and some more pannels, wire feed was playing up so stopping and starting but here it is





here it is at end of day one, so far.

good effort - that won't rot through in a hurry - nice chunky bit of plate.

yer thats what i thought, no point spending few hundred on a cheap one that wont last very long
