Title: Fuel tank defender 130 .
Post by: Darkdevo on February 21, 2017, 03:04 PM
Hey guys I'm looking for a tank for my 130 mines leaking around seam. And I don't want to use some sort of liner stuff or something of that sort as I want to not worry about it. Also anyone with a sending unit like this would be greatly appreciated (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170221/1dcb587f936f30e17dc809b90b19619a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170221/ee88bf3a7b919aa35867e6836154bcc6.jpg)

you can try calling Ivor Wilde in Sundre Alberta.   He might have something kicking around his place.   Or you can call Dave Lovelock and see if he can source one from the bone yard, but that will still be used.    Or we can bring one of each in for you from the far side of the pond.

or....from what I understand you are pretty handy with the welding equipment ::)

I was thinking about building a tank but I think tank building is kinda a art. But how quick could you get one from UK?
I was trying to find a part number for a tank I couldn't on bearmark or britpart.

Camo388 had a spare or two from the Wainwright scrap metals yard, and there is still a few failed ones there. I think at least one was an organ donor, rusted out at the bottom skid plate? You may be able to cut, weld, and part one together yourself while you await a new replacement from the UK. I wouldn't bother building a new one from scratch, it is probably not worth your time. Perhaps you could ask him nicely and meet at the upcoming club meeting. I didn't collect any surplus tanks.

I have one spare tank but don't know how good it is.  I do know there is no sending unit with it.
I'll have a look for it tomorrow.  I think I know under which snow bank it should be. ::)

Well I found the spare tank and sadly it does not hold water.  :'( :'( 
The skid plate is separated from the tank so this has allowed dirt to collect between plate and tank, and wet dirt promotes rust and eats holes in the tank.
There was only epoxy cement to create waterproof seal between skid plate and tank.  In my opinion as a welder, not the best way to go.
