Hi Slim,
I took my fuel tank to a radiator repair specialist
and he braized it up a treat for me.
It was only $20 too
.
Not sure what repairs you need but hope this helps.

Slim
If it is rust type repairs or such "POR" Industrial products make a fuel tank repair /treatment kit, as well as a lot of other things for repair / restoration. They are based in Sydney
Good Luck

Slim,
Ive used POR on motorcycle tanks and it works well,, you'd need alot of it for a car tank tho, and it could get pricey.
Id probably weld it up, and tip some POR fuel tank repair inside to seal up the porosity.

i'm a fan of POR15 stuff, ive used it on the entire car inside and out.
good luck

Slim, I probably dont have to tell you - but for all others who read this - be BLOODY careful welding petrol tanks.
Best way is to flush thouroghly with water and leave some water in the bottom of the tank while welding.
Naturally the tank must be removed to do this.
NEVER EVER EVER attempt to weld up a petrol tank by removing the plug in the bottom to drain the petrol and welding it in place in the car.

there was a guy in my hometown once who thought he'd cut up an old 44 gallon drum that used to have fuel in it with an oxy.......
he survived, but i am pretty sure he'll never do
that
again
