Cat Thirty gas tank build.

That is one nice piece of work. Not only the forming but the welding and cutting. Did you use plasma to cut the plates? Not easy to get the dividers welded inside the drum.

That is impressive! Looks like you have done extensive work on the manifolds too.

Great Job.

Thanks. I had my local metal shop roll the main tank and cut all the plates.  I cut the holes in the baffles at home.  I also made a non functional heat box for it awhile back.  

looks good now the big question does it leak. would be a good idea to seal it with a fuel tank sealer such as the por15 stuff or red coat now while its new and save a headache later particularly with todays fuel as most petrol now has ethanol and other corrosive additives.

I forgot to mention that I leak tested both compartments.  I use low pressure air and soapy water to find any leaks. I did find one bubbler on the partition that separates the different tanks.  I checked the big side first, before I welded the end on for the little side.  

I’m not sure how I feel about sealing it.  Maybe I will, maybe not.  


BP.  

Nice work Bruce! That was a good idea for the dual tanks.

Thanks Rome.
