Re: Galvanising fuel tanks?

I know that you can buy 'new' galvanised series one 80 and
86/88/107/109 tanks that have been built from scratch as exact
copies. That way you have no solder/ flakey dramas.
I have no idea if anyone has done the same for later tanks :-?
But as I have a series 3 external filler tank in my 86", then an
86" top filler 'may' fit as a military tank? Might need to get
the measuring tape out....

Be careful here, since the addition of ethanol to petrol (wanted
or not!!) it has the property of dissolving a lot of the sealers
which were perfectly ok before, it also attracts moisture which
then helps to rot the tank even quicker
