What about brazing? Would that be strong enough to hold? I do have, an old CO2 extinguisher I could empty into it, it's due for testing anyway.

I'm really leary about welding fuel tanks, a lot of bad things have happened doing that. :shock:

Bump.

Okay, so I got some time and took a better look at the tank and started scraping off some of the paint that was flaking. Unfortunately, I found that it had a bad rust spot on the bottom that resulted in a pinhole leak. I determined that it was just the one spot, the rest of the tank other than...

After looking at some pics of 818's, I'm thinking that's what it is, a right side tank. Anybody rigged up an aux. tank in the bed of a deuce? How did you plumb it in? That's what I'm thinking of doing. I think I'd mount it in the front center, and put fold up wood slats on top like the bench...

Ah true, that's what it looks like. (Just goes to show how busy I've been, I didn't even look at it that close) So I guess that would mean it would've gone on something with saddle tanks?

I finally had a chance to take some pics of the tanks, the first two are of the tank I bought, the third is the one on my deuce. The obvious difference besides the dimensions is the location of the pump and fittings. Are there any part numbers that I could look for? C'mon guys, one of ya's...

I should've said, but it's stenciled DIESEL.

That could be it. I think I'm gonna fix it up so I can use it as an auxilliary tank, or so I can put my clean WMO in it. It has the pump in it, and it's pretty clean. If the pump works, all it will need is a little rinse just to make sure there is no small grit in it.

Which model?

I got a pretty nice fuel tank, it looks like a deuce tank, but it's not the same size as the one on my A2. My tank is 39.5"long x 15.5" tall x 22" deep. The new one I got is 31" long x 17" tall x 26" deep. They both look the same, just different measurements. The new one also has late 60's...
