So,
What are the options for oil tanks? New, used? Who sells the new ones, and how much? Rich |

Velios used to make a cast aluminum tank, it's heavy and I had about a 25% leak ratio on the ones I sold. Think "rust prevention" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Mine doesn't leak, but the big issue I had early on with mine was figuring out "how much oil" was too much ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) = more rust prevention) -- I have *that* figured out now! That pictured tank is a work of art -- I love the fill pipe...is that copper anodized? |

I love the fill pipe...is that copper anodized? No. It's "mood" lighting ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The filler neck is aluminum, just like the rest of the tank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy |
