4dori Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 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
Benno Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 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
JustHarry Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Most/all radiator shops will also clean fuel tanks Quote
DoBro Jesus Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 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
RUNAMUCK Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Pretty much any radiator shop. They come back mint. Quote
4dori Posted April 8, 2021 Author Posted April 8, 2021 Cheers guys appreciate it! Will give industrial radiators a whirl. 1 Quote

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
Benno Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 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
Bling Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 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
