Scratch fuel tank off the list!
Work was cancelled for the day so i made the 2 end caps for the fuel tank. They are just 2 slugs of brass but if you want to increase the capacity of the tank the ends could be bored out.
After polishing the tubing the holes were drilled for the filler neck and outlet fitting. I didn't call out the holes in the drawings because I felt everybody has a personal preference as to where the fittings go. The fittings were then soldered in from the inside.
I cant remember where i saw this but the inside wall gets fluxed and a piece of solder is wrapped around the inside of the tank. The end cap is fluxed and installed. The prepared end is set on the table and a torch heats until the solder melts and bonds that end.
The same process is used on the other end and then the tank gets soldered to the mount bar. I rubbed it a little on the buffer. There is alot more buffing to do but you get the idea.
