Mr.Pigdog Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 I've used a product called petseal quite a few times-usually because of heavy corrosion(sometimes so bad its leaking)has always worked well-just allow a couple of days for it to properly set and do it in summer when its reasonably warm! Just a quick edit to add that i chuck a chain or old nuts and bolts in the tank then shake it up to remove any loose parts first.

Just prep right and don't rush it. I used bolts in the tank three or four times, and made darned sure I followed the instructions to the letter. Tank was rescued from the brink with no trouble at all. Smells nice too
addiction269 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Posted May 11, 2009 yeah i saw this in fast bikes this month, seems like the best stuff then! thanks
VeeTeeArr Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 My Dad used glass fibre resin (just the resin) to repair the ally tank on his old Bond 875. He always had plenty about for body work repairs to the car. He mixed up enough to coat the complete inside of the tank, poured it inside then turned the tank until it coated it all over.

That Bond is ace, is it the one with the hillman rear mounted engine and axle? I'd love a 3 wheeler at some point.

Yes, Hillman Imp. 875cc Coventry Climax, all aluminium, 450 slant engine and transaxle. Lowdown weight over the back two wheels makes it much more stable[1]. Even so, you still need to get all your braking done in a straight line and accelerate through the corner. Also available as the Ranger Van [1] than the various Reliants, including the Bond Bug , which was made by Reliant, rebranded as Bond after they bought the Bond company.
