Petrol tank expansion tank??

Post by lordbrown »

Hi,

Whilst drilling out my seat rails today i got a bit carried away with a brand new spot weld drill bit and went through the floor and into the plastic tank thing that sits under the drivers seat just above the filler neck.

is this a petrol tank expansion tank? if so can i just epoxy over the hole i made? or fibre glass it? or do i need to get a new one?

If a new one is needed does anyone have one?

On the plus side, the seat subframes are modified and nearly ready to bolt in :D

Unavailble now so you'll have to replace them with used ones.
good luck :ok

cheers for the reply. I think i have found a second hand one for sale.

Will be removing the other side one before i remove the passenger seat rails just in case i do the same.
