). I've been working on a budget and so most problems take some time and thought to work out. I spent the $60 on a battery so it doesn't have to stay hooked up to the the charger. Now I need to deal with the rusty gas tank. For the past month or two I have had a fuel line from the pump going into a 5 gallon gas container. But since I bought a battery, I need something to hold gas on the bike.
When I pulled the tank for the first time I could hear the chunks of rust shaking around in there. And when I talked about fixing the inside to my boss, he told me that it wouldn't work because the rust was too bad. I didn't believe him and so here I am a few months later. He was completely right! There must have been about 100 pin holes in the bottom of the tank. I had been using a small garlic container for gas.
But decided that having to re-fuel every 10 minutes isn't very much fun, and with funds being limited I decided to make due with an air grinder, a fire extinguisher, and $30. This is what happened today:
I cut out a section of the tank.
Bought some supply's at Lowes- about $30
Using an empty 1 gallon paint bucket. $5
the holes in the cut out section
larger holes in the remainder of the tank
I plan on drilling some holes trying to make this work! This will hopefully be done over the next day or two and I will update accordingly. Also if anyone has a decent gas tank let me know!!! Thank you for viewing!
