Can anyone help with: Plan A refurbed or good 2ndhand tank Plan B Lining it with something - I seem to remember Demon Tweeks do a product - has anyone used it/is it any good? Plan C Any other suggestions Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 new tanks are avilable eg td fitchetts have you found a local radiator /tank repairer ( search yellow pages etc) we have one in Luton charge around £140 eg radiator repairer luton - Search (bing.com) internal sealing products can work or become another nightmare if the process fails to adhere properly there are mixed views on using a sealer and also depends on how bad is the leak area Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 they do have a web site but it operats via club HQ and TDF are selective about whats on it Clives right a phone call and man in brown smock rolls the card index and walks down the wharehouse rows of racked parts and brings it to the counter here is a link to the website Triumph Parts And Spares - From T.D. Fitchett Limited (tdfitchett.co.uk) no tanks showing but they are listed in the TDF advert in the courier mag . note fitchetts probably supply most of the main parts dealers as they have the press tools Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark powell Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 I have a used tank. located near Eastbourne. I think it came out of a 948. I can't see which tank fitting it has, as it's up on a shelf. Not sure of condition. Free to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
