There was some slight damage to the tank where the fearing connects. The tank has a little clip welded on it.
I guess it was bent, someone bent it back then over the years a leak at the clip weld formed.
My question is can this be rewelded? Or do I need a new tank (300-500$)
I assume that if there is no fuel in the tank and tank is dried any radiator shop should be able to weld this.
However, the motorcycle shop it is at now says, "no you can't weld a fuel tank" They urged me not to ride it because it might leak and catch fire.
mind you the leak isn't that bad and if the fuel is 1/2-1 gallon even sloshing around shouldn't make it leak at that place.
I just need to get it home till I figure out what I need to do.
What ya'll think....
