I may have a leak on the fuel tank of our 4106, so I started looking at the prospect of removing and changing or repairing the tank. Someone suggested a liner product would be a good way to go. I had not heard of a liner before and was hoping someone here may have experience with them. Is it a cheap fix not worth doing or is it a good way to go even with a good tank? I understand the tank still should be cleaned, rust removed and repaired. Any thoughts on this will be appreciated. Denis
its used at repair shops but i have always seen them clean and repair the leaks first before using it
We used to use a fuel tank bladder in our race cars, but they are not practical for what you are intending! You'd have to cut a large hole in the tank to install it and then plate over the hole, plus they just aren't needed on a bus (shoot we didn't feel they were needed on the race cars either but USAC said "if you run USAC sanctioned events your car will comply with USAC rules!") FWIW
;D BK ;D
D+C,
It must be clean, clean, clean. I tried (3) times to have a welder plug a small hole in my '83 MB diesel without success. I obtained a replacement from a doaner vehicle for cheap. Least expensive transportation from Va Bch to AC was Greyhound Packages.
Good luck, I have since had the orig. tank rewelded but have yet to check its integrity.
