Cafe CM400 Build - Tank Test
The tank started to look pretty good after grinding. This tank was going to have body filler added, but needed to be tested for leaks before Bondo. I thought I would just add some air pressure with an air gun. The tank folded and buckled at a surprisingly low pressure. I was shocked. I did indeed find the leaks as well as turn many hours of work into scrap metal. The next step is deciding on the new tank.
