I started a tank repair thread a while back - my original tank had been opened up twice before, and was really at the end of its life - I persevered with repair, including third opening, re-brazing. After pressure testing, sealing with redkote and painting - the first tank full of gas pin pointed a minor leak from rust behind one of the original braze repairs. Very disappointed - required another application of redkote sealer and it has been fine these last three months.
In the meantime - I purchased an Indian made tank, it arrived during the Covid lockdown. I am impressed with the overall quality, clean new metal, good welds, proper shape and it fit perfectly. Same can't be said for all Indian made tanks - If you are interested I can forward the link to the seller. For $300 it is certainly a easy fix. I will keep the original tank as a spare..
