Personally Id go GTR, have you tried speaking to someone like Japanese Performance Centre or Japanese wholesale spares? See if they can fit it for you as well.

A few fabricators around that could do it for sure.

Where in Perth are you?

I'm pretty sure NatRad does them, we got them to repair the fuel tanks on an old 1940's Jaguar at my old work.

Otherwise give JPC a call, they've never let me down just yet.

[shinobichart]

NatRad? where bouts they located? how do i check to see whether their mite be rust in a fuel tank that isnt visible? is there sum kind of chemical i can chuck in that can eat up the rust but wont contaminate the tank wen i put fuel in it later on?

[NA_Goodness]

Natrad is all over Perth. Google them to find the one closest to you then give them a call. I only know the Malaga and Osborne Park stores because I've worked in those areas.

will do, cheers mate

I had issues with a couple of tanks and I've bought some gear by a mob called KBS Coatings. Basically it's a multi-stage process that cleans the tank out, then coats the inside with a sealer that stops the rust issues. Excellent stuff and $100.00 coats a 100 litre tank.

I still had the link for the product - KBS Coatings.

And these are the WA distributors - Distributor List.

I've used it on a couple of old project cars and an ex race 80's bike.

thanks mate, will i need to remove my tank to do this? how many litres is a R32 gtst fuel tank?

[Nic_A31]

I was going to suggest Torque Fabrication in Midland/Midvale, but up your way, better luck around Welshpool, Kewdale, Canningvale, etc

Yes, you remove the tank and fill it with the compound. Then seal the pump access hole and rotate the tank so the compound covers the entire surface.

The Gts-t is 60 litres from memory.
