steve200TDi Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi, It looks like I'll be needing a new fuel tank soon as it is leaking. I don't know how old it is - it could be the original! What I'm interested in is preserving/lengthening the life of the new one. I've heard you can get stainless steel/anodised fuel tanks. I had a thought of painting it with something durable and obviously pay particular attension to the fuel tank area when cleaning after off raoding not to let any mud sit up between the tank and seatbox. If anyone has had experiance with any of the above or have anyother suggestions I would like to hear them. Thanks for your help.

western Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Replaced my 110's tank a while ago, the new one looked to have a coating on it, [shiney finish] I painted it with a few coats of Galvafriod paint seems to be quite happy under the truck.

markyboy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have been looking in to this, have you used it? does it not clog the pick up pipes etc? You'd take the sender unit/fuel pick up out before you did it, or not put them in in the case of a new tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
