New Chummy type petrol tanks... - Ruairidh Dunford - 10-02-2021
If anyone is interested in having a brand new Chummy type petrol tank made in the correct tinplate material - please get in touch.

Hi Ruairidh
Yes please! Although it would obviously depend on cost? I’m guessing prices might reduce the more orders are received?
Cheers

Hi Ruairidh
I would be interested if they're not madly expensive.
Cheers

R, I think you mean lead coated steel? Well Terne plate actually.

I'd be interested to know where you can still get the tinplate in a large enough size and thick enough to make them from.

Very happy to pass that on Stuart.

Hi Gene,
I think Chummy ones should be Tinplate.
Many thanks,

Hi Ruairidh
Just a thought.
The front face of the D tank along with the filler neck, outlet and bulkhead plates are (in my experience) rarely damaged by rot and remain serviceable. It is the thin tank behind that rots and leaks.
Would an exchange service whereby a new rear section is soldered on to the original face be a possible?
Cheers
Howard
