4dori 6 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Hey guys my 30+ year old fuel tank is looking pretty grimey inside, can anyone recommend a good Christchurch shop that does cleaning and inner restore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benno 912 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I've got mine getting dipped, cleaned and lined at Hornby Radiator shop at the moment. Should get it back next week, will report how it went when I get it back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DoBro Jesus 4,971 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Industrial radiators on Blenheim rd opposite supercheap. We use em at work and Jimmy's done a few cashies for me. Good buggers and do a good job at a fair price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't got it back yet, the liner didn't stick. They reckoned there was an old liner in there, which wasn't obvious and wasn't removed by the acid. I said I wasn't in a massive rush to get it back, so they've still got it to sort it out. Not sure what their solution is going to be next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 21,916 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Ah bugger, that's less than ideal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benno 912 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Got it back, pretty happy with it. Needed quite a bit more work than a quick dip and liner, but he only charged me $400 for the lot. He ended up having to cut open the tank, sand blast it and weld back up. He also fixed some dents and re-welded a baffle while he was at it. Would trade again. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bling 21,916 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Yeah got mine back from them today, dropped it off Friday, it stewed over the long weekend with the cleaner. Only had the rust zapped as money running low lol. Came up good though, just need to clear the pipes and give it a lick of paint. Replacing the hoses with Continental stuff from Blackwoods. That's a good price for all that work! Saw it on the bench while I was having a yarn. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
