I'm going to remove and repair the seat tank before winter sets in. The top of the tank where the seat sits is heavily rusted and pitted so I am going to drain the tank, remove and flush it, then cut out rusty part of the top.

Before I get started does anyone know off hand how thick the material is? I am guessing it's close to 1/8".

Thanks!

Thnk you! I checked this site and yours but haven't found any references to metal thickness. I jest need to cut a square out on either side of the central tube. I'm sure the tank needs to be cleaned anyhow.
