Hi Mark Have you ever worked on them your self? Thanks, Randy ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark H. To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 9:59 PM Subject: [SPAM][ercoupe-tech] Re: Leaky Tanks
Randy, I'll repost it seeing I messed up the first time. Yes the stainless tanks can be repaired. But you have to get some 50/50 real lead solder, that is hard to find. then you have to get flux that is for stainless, again hard to find. then you have to know what your doing or you can ruin a tank fast. Plus if you have a old fasion high wattage solder iron that helps. hope this helps.
