Well I've had a leak since two of Calvins BBQ... I really noticied it on my trip home so... I dropped the tank. I figured it was my work fixing the vents but nope... Seems the fuel suction line solder joint broke loose in the sender top. I tipped the tank back with around 2 gallons of diesel still in it and found the leak. Only way I can figure this broke loose is when I originally dropped the tank I didn't cut loose the supply and return line from the frame cross member. I did cut them loose before I installed the tanks. That step sure made for more room to reach in and connect the lines. No other ways to reach them but to pull the bed... Nope... Just not gonna do that... So I got out my oxy actylelne tanks and the smallest brazing head and soldered it back. Sure doesn't take much heat either. Checked and found no leaks so I covered the top side with copper plus rtv. Just waiting for it to cure and back goes the tank. Nothing inside the tank either. Fuel looks good... Not cloudy or milky... Just the new diesel green... Which I don't really like. I will drain it before I try to install the tank. That fluid smoshing around throws off the balance big time for my weak arms. I hate working overhead... My little arms get so tired.....
