John;
Anything can be welded by a skilled individual, but some things may not
last too long after the process. As far as the Ercoupe tanks, I'm not sure
if there is a combo of procedures that came from the factory. Re-riveting
should usually work and if the parts are properly "glued" together,
shouldn't ever leak. Remember they use ProSeal to hold helicopters
together! I once had a cowl welded by an aerospace company (hey, it was
cheaper than the Univair new price). Beautiful job, but the part
didn't last 10 hours. Work hardened and stiff. If you know anyone
building an RV, ask to see their tank building procedures. You'll be
amazed at how non-complicated it really is.
