Following Arnold's picture I thought I would take one of my tank and the bulge therein. Very similar but without a leak so far (!!??) as I know.

While Baby Blue is in for repairs and installation of her new altitude
hold, I had occasion to look over the tank area, thoroughly. Sure
enough, I found evidence of contact between the center push rod and the
tank, right where you gents are point to. No real damage to the tank,
but it was definitely touching. I applied a bit of Velcro loop to the
tank area to guard against against further wear. I plan to either
reposition the push rod, or extend the brace to push the tank back into
it's intended shape. I'll let everyone know what I come up with and
supply a pic or two...
BTW, my new exhaust down pipe, just arrived. I'll install it tomorrow.
Many thanks to John and Rodger for the prompt shipping. I ordered it
one week ago, yesterday...
Jeff,
Baby Blue

I I remember correctly a few years back there was a change in the tanks from the factory, basically flourinating them to avoid these problems. Are these problematic tanks older pre-flourinated ones? Or are the new tanks also chemically inadequate? I'd hate to hear how much $$ a custom welded Alum would cost (let alone all the probs associated with weld quality leaks).
Cheers,

I would be interested to know how you take the tank out . Do you cut the top of the cockpit module out? And if so what is the recommendation for putting the bit you cut out back on?
Will
PS I am putting in my tri gear main sockets – without the top on. How on earth did anyone put them in with the top on??!

In re: Tri-Gear main sockets
One cusses for several hours and hopes the neighbors do not complain about the foul language. This was where I decided that the factory considered the Tri-Gear to be the ugly step child in the family.

I still think the trike looks better on the ground, but I may be biased : )
