Well, today I poked a hole in my graders fuel tank. The air was pretty blue around for a bit.. Call Zieglers to see how much a new tank is. $1200 bucks. Bad news. Worse news, none in the Cat system anywhere. A quick view to Youtube says they can be welded with a soldering iron. Pssf, soldering irons sold these day wouldn't melt it worth a s**t. Pull a 12v glow plug out of my pickup, hook a switch up to it grab a hand full of zip ties and welded that hole shut, put a chunck of fine screen over the weld. Covered it with another pile of melted zip ties. I welded it shut and that sucker hasn't leaked a drop and I did it with the fuel in it. I LIKE PLASTIC FUEL TANKS!!!!!
