Re: Fuel Tank Fun

I finally soldered my fill tune to the aftermarket tank. Not a fun day! The silver solder on the new tank was very difficult to melt and the two studs that hold the filler tube in place fell out. I used the studs from the old filler (but they fit loosely and were hard to get in with the filler tube and get nuts on all at the same time). I then soldered everything back up with regular solder. It did not want to stick to the tank and the tank leaked the first two times. Finally on the third time it held and seems solid. I expect to be installing the tank this week sometime. I'll post how it goes. I may even add pictures.
