Oil tank rusted out from the inside

Post by Invicta »

Has anyone cut open and repaired a rusted oil tank. The oil tank from my 1950 model 18 looks good on the outside but has rotted from the inside. The oil filter housing has rotted right through at the base and there are some pin holes in the bottom of one corner. I am considering cutting the tank open along the welded seam to see if I can repair it. I was wondering has anyone else done this and how did they get on.
