Colin Lindsay Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Ah... the superiority of Heralds with their fuel tank drain... when it hasn't rusted through and dropped off, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you’re right about it needing to be dry, but with respect, please do be a bit wary here. Here are the remains of a fuel tank after cleaning out, rinsing lots and then being dried with a hot air gun ( last year by a veteran car owner) (The tank is supposed to be rectangular in shape , filler at top) It exploded, ripping the tank apart with the debris flying the length of his garden.He survived but needed hospital treatment for abrasions and burns. To make it worse, with the interior of the tank now more, shall we say, “ easily visible” It didn’t seem that bad… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Very sad to hear that, but if there was so much vapour left in the tank for it to explode, what can you say??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Yep, should have filled it full of water and then dried it out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
