Submitted by petermac on Sun, 2014-11-09 14:40
I have a pin prick hole in the fuel tank of my norton dominator that needs welding can any 1 out there recomend some 1 to do it, every welder i spoken to says its to risky. The problem is i cant get a new tank or even a reproduction as it is a 53 year old bike

True
If its empty, clean and ventilated there's no risk, depending on hole location heat could be a risk.
Im home in another week, if you dont get it sorted send me a PM, ill have a look.

You need to get it degassed
You need to get it degassed before welding Peter. There are a couple of company's that do this , http://www.integratedfuel.com.au/contact/
Hopefully that link works. If you get it cleaned PM me if you want the welding done.
Love the West!

Not a Problem
I have TIG welded bike tanks. Not a drama.
Sounds like a few others on here have/can aswell.

use to repair fuel tanks all the time
Just purge with c02 or another inert gas for a while .use to just hookem up to the car exhaust for 10 min then weld away dodgy I know but never had one blow up even with fuel still in them
