Does anyone know of a specialist who can repair fuel tanks?

Good stuff indeed!  Seriously though Paul, I think Starider had a similar issue and went for the stuff you swill around the tank which did work. Can't remember what it was called though, then again my memory's not what it was ('have I had dinner yet?)! ;D |

;)Hi,quite right I used the fuel tank repair and sealer,it worked brilliantly,cann't remember the name though.It's easy to find though,if you go to FROSTS web site[www.frosts.co.uk I think!!]and look through their on-line catalogue you'll find the"stuff".Depending how clean you tank is inside will depend whether or not you will need the cleaner/primer.I just pressure washed the inside[through the fuel gauge hole],allowed it to dry thoroughly and poured in the "stuff" as per instructions.Make sure you remove excess,not as I did, allowing excess to fill the fuel gauge recess so that when the sealer had cured ,the tank unit would not fit into the tank!! starider

I had a MK3 Zephyr with a tank like a tea bag, I gave it to Arrow radiators in Bristol and it was dipped in something, coated inside and out and baked to 1200 degree's.
Guarantee'd for life.
Or as above suggested, look for Petseal on e-bay.
No gap in Petseal, or you will get loads of cuddly toys ;D
