Building my own fuel tank from SCRATCH!

Показать описание

Today on Aussie Arvos we are building our own Custom Fuel Tank from Scratch for my 4WD Patrol! I've never Tig Welded before so this is going to be a huge learning curve but in the end we should have a tank that is strong, lightweight and of course can carry all the fuel we will ever need !

Massive thanks to Jeff for taking the time to help build us this fuel tank and for teaching me how to Tig weld! it's a new skill that i'm super keen to improve on!

Nice one Liam! Just to note, when you said 100kg in the tank at 100L it was actually about 84kg. Diesel has a density of approximately 0.84kg/L, and even less for petrol.

i HIGHLY reccomend a rubber or cork washer of some kind to mount the tank to the mounting brackets. also reccomend maybe painting the tank itself.

aluminum directly on steel will corrode over time.

Fuel stations hate you? More like they LOVE you!

Great to see you keeping it simple, 1980's style. Good job leak testing in the servo forecourt too, they're all set up to handle spills and all that emergency stuff.

Very cool to see a DYI welded aluminum fuel tank! Adding a second fuel tank is one of the better ideas for any 4x4. I miss my 1989 Nissan D21 which had a 1000 mile (1610km) driving range (highway) due to a 25 gallon (95L) auxiliary tank and a transfer pump. I'd run it from SE Arizona into central California before the main, original tank ran dry and the engine sputtered. Hit the switch on the transfer pump and in a few seconds I'd be cruising again while the fuel gauge just climbed back up. That was a great feeling. Take that to long 4x4 trips and SAR missions, I'd see other folks emptying fuel cans into their tanks, carrying those cans in all sorts of mounts or strapping them down, taking up space that could be better used.

Awesome work Liam, little tip I like to use for tig welding both steel and alloy, I like to gently push a bit of filler into the very edge of the weld puddle about once per second when the work piece is up to heat. Doesn't need much, just a little dab every second or so should be plenty!
