CD954L leaks petrol. DPO repaired with fibreglass. It didn't hold. The tank is empty, and out of the car. Question 1 is, what should I do to keep it from blowing up, so I can safely bring it into the

I had a leaky tank last fall on my Spit. After three attempted repairs with bazing torch amd solder, I gave up and replaced the tank. But, I flushed with water to remove fumes and didn't manage to b

I have heard--but definitely don't hold me to this--that putting dry ice in the tank makes it safe...i.e. dry ice "melts" into CO2 and entirely fills the tank, displacing any air for combustion. Isaa

Tanks seem to be a pain... it's tough to get 'em clear enough to weld on, and I'd be way careful about bringing in to the house.... ATL is still in business in Ramsey, they might make a fuel cell or

Gas fumes linger. In an empty tank, they could send you to the Great Beyond. To be safe, you need to have it filled with water to displace any fumes. I think having it near a furnace is basically a b

What about the baffles in the tank? Can the bladder go around (I doubt it...) or do you remove them? However, I bet a fuel cell would be fine... but I don't know too much about them; only seen pictur

Never remove the baffles. 2 reasons 1. You will make the holes worse. 2. They are in there for a purpose. (You'll run out of gas in hard turns)

The tank for your TR250 is the same as that used on the TR4 and TR4A. I have a 1966 TR4A donor car which has been supplying parts for a TR3A rebuild. I'm in the process of clearing out garage and sh

I would never advocate spending $500 for a tank, when there appear to be ample numbers of used ones available for far less. (That's what I originally paid for my Spit). However, The baffles are ther

I can offer up a slight difference between the TR4 gas tank, and the TR4A/TR250 tank. The TR4 tank is vented and uses an unvented filler cap. TR4As and TR250s rely upon vented gas filler caps. Ask me

A fuel cell (in current racer's tech talk) is just a very strong, very safe gas tank. Many sports car and vintage race organizations require them. There's quite a few listed in my Summit Racing cata
