Welded aluminium fuel tank

Post by jamespearce » Sun Apr 18, 2010 11:03 am

I'm looking for a steer to have circa 30 litre fuel tanks fabricated. They are aerofoil shaped in cross section for fitting into the wing. They have to be very light made from 0.020 inch aluminium and extremely neat in appearance and fit for the purpose. After the initial tank there will be a demand for 10 - 20 more fairly quickly with more to follow to satisfy a production run of microlight aircraft. Please email me with any suggestions. Thanks.
