Series 3 swb fuel tank advice

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

Please could I have your views on replacement fuel tanks.

I was cleaning the existing one its 20 years + when the seam just started to weep. The more mud I brushed off the worse it got.

I am now considering my options. I have heard that Britpart are a poor fit and that the Bearmach don't last many years. LR genuine are a bit dear but might be worth the investment

I am interested in any advice, what you have done, where you bought it and how much it cost and if anyone has tackled a repair to the original.

Thanks

Howard

(you did say 'any advice') What about going MAD? On the S1 I rammed in the normal lightweight landy tank, as there is little cheap choice. But that's an easy option on something that takes standard parts. But the race truck doesn't, so I have a 2mm ally tank inside an ally box with 3mm sides and 4mm bottom (5083 grade). That puts it in a position where you can jack the truck up under the fuel tank.

I'm not suggesting that you need to reduce the fuel load by having a twin skin tank, but a thick bottomed ally tank from someone like Allysport would last a very long time if it were marine grade anodised? And you could drive over anything you fancied :)

You all gave me plenty to think about

Any body have experience with this POR 15 I watched a youtube and one on a similar product but I would be interested to hear from anyone that has used it successful or not.

Thanks again to all who offered advice or an opinion.
