[Spits] Intermittent miss turns out to be fuel tank debris

[Nick Moseley]

Thanks Mark, I won't be tossing the spare tank anytime soon, as the spare
may be used as the primary. The current spare has rusty innards, but no
leaks, while the primary had clean looking innards, but a pinhole leak.

Out of curiosity, roughly how much were you charged for Triumph tanks?

Nick:

 

Something else to consider before junking your old tank would be to take it
to a "good " radiator shop and have them boil it out and then patch any
holes.  I have had this done very reasonably on several Triumph and Jaguar
tanks.  They also treat the inside as well.  This is a much more robust and
permanent solution than any tank sealer product [which usually requires you
to thoroughly clean out the tank before using anyway] I have ever tried.  In
the long run cost effective also.

 

Cheers!
