Default Aluminium Fuel Tank Repair

Marc
I don't want to be a messenger of bad news, but I'm going to bet that the
tank should be replaced. I think it is very likely that the bottom of the
tank is severely coroded. This would be normal if the tank was not coated
inside.

I have a 20 year old diesel tank that has a small leak at or near a
bottom weld.

I've been thinking of taking it to a heliarc welder to attempt a
repair.
