Best place to get the gas tank overhauled?

[Clead]

Port Moody Radiator quoted me $700 to drop it off leaking and pick it up a day later dropped, blasted, resealed and reinstalled.. Anybody got a better suggestion or "a guy"? I've had a scary slow drip for several days now.
Also, I really need to get this beast out on some [wide] trails. LOL it's only done a few FSRs so far this year!
Thanks

My 55 tank did a trip to Leakers but they are now in Keromeos, sure wasn't one day turnaround!

Hmm. I searched the reputable shops thread for the words "fuel" and "tank" but came up empty.

You could try Gary at Radiators in North Vancouver | AERS in North Vancouver. Have no idea of cost but he is a skilled individual and quite the character.

POR-15 Fuel Tank Repair Kit you can get it at lordco stuff works awesome. did my tank 17 years ago and no problems.

Yes por 15 is pretty much the standard do it yourself kit. Have you asked ebi . I'm sure he has had a ton go through his shop over the years . A lot of times guys even retro fit in larger or plastic tanks for an upgrade. In the interm if you can find the crack and get to it rub a bar of soap back and forth it works for a while. I know the 80 series have a design flaw in some that the tank splits under continuous expansion and contraction .

Unfortunately, I'm mainly a 1 kinda guy lately, so the POR-15 is a no-go. I only have a steep outdoor driveway to work on, and it's my only daily driver so it can't be out of service for days while I figure out what the heck I'm doing.
I'll give EBI and Gary a call.
Thanks guys.
