Reply To: BL11 New ownership and first challenges…

Hi Tony W,

I did a patch-up on the bottom of my 1953 Slough Lt15 fuel tank a couple of years ago which has held well, but it was meant to be temporary. I can’t undo the drain plug because it would rip the base out of the tank and it would be good to have that facility because it must be rusting inside..

So I have been looking for a right hand drive tank in a casual way thinking one must turn up. But it hasn’t and now I have found a good local craftsman who will make one to pattern (stainless, copper, steel?). I don’t know if your car is French  and if those tanks are available,  but if it helps I’ll post the price when I commission the work.

I dab my terminals with some copper grease but I expect there are better products more knowledgeable people would advise.

Hope you enjoy your car through the New Year,

Tony B
