Came here to say the same.

 

OP - where are you? What’s the garage name? Give us an advert 👍🏼

The jag in the photo's above is mine, getting some much needed work done so it'll pass the MOT (I hope!) so I have a rough idea where it is😅
Not tooooo far from you..

@Jikovron do you know anyone mad enough to weld a fuel tank? Or indeed are you mad enough yourself?

Didn't @Mr_Bo11ox do that on his Fiat 132/Argenta?

It's just metal, it doesn't turn flammable because it's had fuel in it. I wouldn't hesitate to weld a fuel tank, I'd just make sure there was no fuel in it.

Whilst I agree, I can't weld to a good standard so it's not something I can do myself. And people seem reluctant...

IIRC the tank was purged by connecting it to an exhaust pipe and the engine was run until the tank was hot.

Thankyou.for the kind words, it's quite a pummelling experience keeping a business like this intact and forward marching but it's a positive thing to keep concentrating on moving forward

Yes I can weld a fuel tank by filling it full of water/co2 etc
