when do we get to see it on a bike? I would also love to see a wood (not painted) one. I love anything wood. aMAZING JOB. and your sidecar is great too! keep it up!
 
That is too COOL! Very nice work!
Were you a little nervous putting a flame near that can?
Why did you choose a charcoal lighter fluid can?
I've welded several tanks through the years and always kringe at first strike!
Is the wood cover removable if the tank springs a leak? Kip.

I LOVE this idea...can you tell me what brass fittings you used for the outside...really cool and vintage looking
 
The fitting is a pipe to hose fitting from the hardware store. The cap is a brass cap used to cap off a washing machine valve. I posted a thread on how I made it into a venting cap. Also from the hardware store.
 
Thanks...great job! Love the lines of your tank. I will look for the thread for the venting. Again, great job
 
why not just leave the wood bottom out and support the can with metal strips, any spilled gas would run out the bottom. I am working on a metal tank with wood veneer aides. I trying to some old oak wood floring if I can cut the strips thin enough. btw your tank looks great.
 
when i was a boatbuilder people made fuel tanks for boats out of plywood. The inside faces were sealed with epoxy. & glued together with thickened epoxy. worked fine.
Some of the fuel tank sealer products are epoxy eg. caswell.
Epoxy is not broken down by fuel.
