I've got the tank off and have cleaned most of the paint from it. The inside was washed a while ago with muriatic acid and water then rinsed and a light oil spray to keep the rustworms away. My problem is that I noticed a crack from the filler neck to the nose of the tank. The metal here is very thin and I am remise to weld it for fear of a massive burnthru. Various cranks at work have suggested TIG, J-B weld, Belzona, two part epoxy. I suppose any of these will work, but, what do you fellows suggest I do, keeping in mind that that I want to retain the originality of the bike as much as possible. I am open to any and all reasonable methods to fix this crack.
Thanks for your input, and have a care.
