After much searching ( about 15 minuts worth in the bone yard ) I've decided I should make a fuel tank for Gus.

Then I read a post on SmokeStak about a fellow that made a reproduction Steel tank and soldered it.

I assume he used a much higher tin alloy than I'm used to using. The Silver is no good ( at least the stuff I used in the motor shop too much heat needed ) so what kind of solder is right for joining a steel tank, and what kinf of acid flux is best. How big of an Iron do I need and or should I try electric or copper heated by torch ect...

Way out there with this post I know, I'm on a "If I can't make it Gus don't need it kick"....

Educate me fellow motor heads!!!

Here is a link to the fellow that made his

My queen is a lot like that too?

I like raise my voice, she shouts me down and reminds me I'm not always right
I worry a lot about stuff and she tells me to relax.
I feel guilty spending money on things like Gus, she reminds me money is only good if you spend it and we have a little extra.
I deny her and my son nothing, I'm not rich but we get by.....

She cooks, cleans, drives a school bus, and takes care of me.
She's little heavier than she used to be, but thats ok I'm balding.
She can be abrasive and holds a grudge ( that means she's a wife )
She trusts me ( I'm married and dead from the neck down, realy I don't notice you ladies anymore ).

Old Russian proverb:
The man is the head of the family, but the woman is the neck.
The neck turns the head.....

Ditto on the high presure water hose....

The machanics I work with have sued the same stuff for heaters and auto aplications. Its not ment for high temperatures but seems to work. This is whats in store for Gus 1 inch 250 PSI air/water line.

RTV even comes in presurized can that like Amercian " Squirt Cheeze " you just aim and aply....

What an age to be alive...

Pictures please!

What did you do, Gus has an oil line to the rocker shaft already. This is already a stock item if you ask for it.

So is a by pass filter ( Gus also has but I don't like and there is an Indian varrient with a spin on ).
