neil Mclean Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Does anyone know of a manufacturer of small metal fuel tanks around 10-20cc similar to the old KK team race tanks. My soldering skills are appalling so I need to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engine Doctor Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Try Den's model supplies Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 If I may make a suggestion. Learn to solder it isn't hard. We used to solder all our own tanks up when I was fifteen. I still have my Henly Solon 75 Watt iron that I bought then (1955) it still works. Brian Winch has an article on soldering on the forum **LINK** And I am sure that I have an article on making tanks somehwere on thios forum. If not PM me and I can email you a copy.

neil Mclean Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Thanks for the swift replies. I will give Dens models a go. But I think having had a look at the article on soldering I might give that a go as well. thanks again Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
