Robert, I bought one the chromed tanks, after having a paint job done on the tank top and sides it was looking really good well pleased.

Tried the petseal method but it has not been successful, only thing to do is grind out and reweld, rechrome and paint job, very expensive solution. The tank is fine 3/4 full so I will live with it for awhile.

Thanks Paul.Re Petseal I have had a disaster with the stuff. the first didnt dry so I put in the 2 pack stuff which has lasted a few weeks before a leak appeared. That is why I decided to look for a new tank. Maybe I should strip my old tank and braze any leaks.I dont want to go down the petseal route again
