Motorcycle Fuel Tanks

Motorcycle fuel tanks are prominent, tightly packaged and often difficult to replace—especially on classic, imported and custom bikes. We assess the tank and its intended use before recommending repair, restoration or one-off fabrication.

Classic motorcycles

Preserve hard-to-find tanks

Older tanks may have internal rust, pinholes, damaged seams or previous repairs. Condition is assessed before any restoration path is agreed.

Custom builds

Shape, clearance and mounting

One-off tank work must account for the frame, engine, controls, rider position, filler, tap or pump, venting and secure mounts.

Leak & damage assessment

Repair only when it makes sense

Impact damage, corrosion and thinned material can affect more than the visible fault. The full tank needs to be considered before welding or coating decisions are made.

Preparation

Safe handling comes first

The tank must be completely drained and suitable preparation and decontamination requirements will be confirmed before workshop work begins.

What to include with your enquiry

  1. Motorcycle make, model, year, fuel and whether the bike is standard or modified.
  2. Clear photos from every side, including the underside, filler, outlets and mounts.
  3. Tank dimensions and the installation space if replacement fabrication is being considered.
  4. A description of leaks, rust, dents, coatings and any known previous repairs.
