Scuttle fuel tank repairer request.

[Biddlecombe]

Just been on the scrounge around the local industrial estates for a piece of thin copper or bronze for the patch, negative on all counts. So popped into my local fix all makes garage to see what they had. "You don't want to patch it with that" he says. "Run a hose through the tank for an hour then string a candle on the end of a broom handle and light it" he says, "Then stand back and put the candle near the filler and poof! Then you can weld a steel patch on it" Reckons they did it all the time back in the day! Well not round here they ain't. No way Jose!
