An Afternoon of Tank Repair in Pictures

Lessons in tank repair.
At GriGri we mostly use the yoke system aluminum tanks
Tools, o-rings, spare parts and a little grease.
A bad valve and o-ring (left) and their replacements (right).
It took some extra effort to get the old valve off of the cylinder.
We worked with both types of tanks each with slightly different parts.

As this was the first time I had been introduced to tank repair and cleaning, I was shocked to see how a new o-ring and a little bit of grease dramatically improved the functionality of the valve. If you are having a hard time opening your tank, it probably just needs a little cleaning. Also, remember to clean them out between test dates to increase the life of your valve!

  2. Fuel tank repair (Aluminum Tank Repair )is one of the many uses for our HTS brazing rods. Whether you're looking to repair a fuel tank on a motorcycle or other small vehicle or on a larger vehicle such as a car or truck, the HTS brazing rod can help you do just that.
