LOL @ the costs Matt
Thanks for that I think I'll go your route Tony uk "Matt O'Toole" wrote in message ... Tony wrote: Hi Anyone know if there is a special epoxy to use for diesel fuel tanks or just any ordinary epoxy? Im in the UK btw Tony UK There's an article about this at the WestSystem/Epoxyworks website (www.epoxyworks.com/indexprojects.html). I can't link directly to the article because the site uses frames. The Gudgeon Bros. book has stuff on the subject too. WestSystem can supply the correct resins, etc. I've built one tank like this and AFAIK it's still going strong, 20 years later. Using the white pigment really helps while inspecting the tank for flaws, as well as subsequent maintenance (should that be necessary). You may want to look into various regulations and insurance requirements before doing this. Also, with the amount of labor involved, a polyethylene tank starts to look pretty cheap. Matt O. |
