gas tank

ok took the dodge for its first ride and found out the gas tank has a few pin holes in it..........does anyone know if I can get an aftermarket tank or is there a good sealer out there that would not clog up the fuel pick up?????the car is a 1950 dodge wayfarer business coupe.........thanks all........

 

I would Google for a search and go from there . Not a popular car for a tank but never know .
You can try a radiator shop to have the tank flushed and cleaned . Then they might be able to weld it up for you and seal it . DON'T try cleaning it yourself and welding it . You just might find out how bad you didn't get all the fuel cleaned out ! That can be very dangerous so leave it to the Professionals !

A friend of mine got a new tank for his '50 Coronet.
I'll ask him where he got his and PM you next week
His has a complete drivetrain out of a Dakota pickup 360 V8!

 

Youll want to have it boiled out if its all gunked up, it has to be really clean to seal it. I use the tank sealer from KBS Coatings, works great!

 

After you get it cleaned, you can tin the affected area, and solder it with a big soldering iron. The type you heat with a blowtorch. Safe and effective.

Works good

Not recomended but ALL METAL body putty can be used on the outside to seal leaks. Gary

 

thanks everyone......cleaned off the outside of the tank and there are more pin holes in it than a screen door............

 

Try www.tanksinc.com or call them for a referral. Good luck.

 

I use pennys to solder on the tank after tinning it. They work great and there is always plenty around.
