It Was Just To Good To Be True. Welding/brazing Help Needed


Sean

Recommended Posts

So my nice solid 350 tank i was once so proud about has bitten me in the ass. She's off to paint next week so i was cleaning out the tank to remove all the petrol gum before using the Por15 kit. And it started dripping, out with the wire brush and found these. Nothing to major.

Now the solution can i weld them up if im super careful or am i better getting it brazed. Just concerned with how thin the metal it going to be around there, so im thinking it needs to be brazed.

Should get away with either process, Tig or Gas, But if it's that thin there then whats to say it won't hole in about 20 different places 5 minutes down the line?

Is the root cause of these just down to corrosion?

Edit:- I'd Tig it personally, But thats just my personal preference

Mig wouldn't be a problem to use.

Lowest setting and a quick fill on the holes should be enough and then a light grind down for a smooth finish.

If it's that thin due to corrosion in the tank ... silver solder all the way baby.
