Gas Tank RENU

[churtle]

gOOD MORNING Y ALL, OK THE QUESTION I have is where would one get his gas tank renu'ed or repaired at ??? Radiator Shop or do I need to look for someone specific??? TIA

There are places that specialize in gas tank repair, but they can be hard to find. Most radiator shops can also handle the job.

my 46 jeep gas tank has a tag on it from this company and I have had no problems so far and the tank was modified before coating

Do a search on the net for this spelling. They have franchise operations all across the US. They offer a lifetime warranty when it is coated inside and out. Once it is coated, the outer surface is paintable.

There was a company I found out of NJ, I think. I had my M-38 tank boiled and coated at the local radiator shop. Cost me about $300, I thought a little high, but what are you going to do?

Got mine RENU'd, pretty ugly. They had to cut 2 holes, one on each side of the baffles, shot peened it, welded, and coated inside and outside with a very thick black coating. Put the tank in, and found a leak right at the rear drain plug - forgot to solder. Be sure to have them check that!

The local parts store sold me a 6" Goodyear radiator hose for a replacement to connect to the filler pipe. Doesn't sound right to me? Seems like there would be a fuel line hose?

There is a correct hose for gasoline application, this correct type hose is available at NAPA. A radiator hose will work for a short time, however will become gummy & start to separate with repeated exposure to gas or diesel bringing with it the usual horrors of hose deterioration.

Charles - thanks for the catch. NAPA has the 2 1/4" ID fuel filler hose (p/n 1055) for future reference. My old piece, or what's left of it, looks like 4" length - 2 clamps.
