The only thing I can think of is to try a breakers. I know that Ron Greet Tractor Spares... http://home2.btconnect.com/rongreet/ ...are breaking 35's. He is usually very helpful. If you have to weld the tank then the thing to do is to drain as much of the fuel as possible. Then slowly fill the tank with water until it overflows out of the filler. Any fuel will float up on top of the water and be expelled from the tank. It should then be safe to weld (hopefully!). Sorry I couldn't help you source a new tank. If you find anyone who stocks them would you please let email me, as I would be interested to know. Regards, Steve Hi Richard,

Sadly, the fuel tank is now leaking, and I know welding it is difficult and can be dangerous.Do you know where I can find a replacement ? I've tried and failed so far. I'm fitting a T-20 Petrol/TVO tank,which more or less fits, for the time being ; but would like the genuine article if poss. Thanks.
