Restoring my Vw Kombi's gas tank.

As I mentioned in a previous publication, my Vw Kombi caught fire in the engine section.

I got some resources out of the family budget and decided to repair the affected gas tank.

I obtained 100 gauge sandpaper and with it I eliminated all the burned paint.

Later, with white acrylic paint, I painted the tank on top. And its lower part I applied body schutz 3M.

I searched incessantly for the fuel level indicator, but I did not get any results.

Ironically, this truck was assembled in the neighboring country of Brazil, but in Venezuela I did not get the indicator.

One person mentioned that he could get me one for $ 50 (somewhat exaggerated, true).

What I did was acquire a fuel-resistant epoxy glue. With my scissors to cut metal sheets I cut out a circle of 26 gauge metal.

I understand that this is not a professional repair, but in this way I temporarily resolve the problem.

Now I must be more aware of the level of the gas tank.

Although there is still much to be done, I am satisfied with this progress of the repair.

The white acrylic paint and the body schutz 3M already had it in my garage.
