First, thanks to al respondent of my previous questions  about welding. I bought my gas welding equipment mostly to weld all the 4130 pieces  and try if possible to weld the tanks. If I can’t weld it I will try  alternative methods like riveting and sealing like Van’s or brazing with HTS-2000 rods that you can find in this  site:

                      http://aluminumrepair.com/           

      The price of this rod has gone down to $65 for 34 rods (minimum order). In  their FAQ they say that it can be also used for aluminum fabrication but the  rest of the site always refer to aluminum repair. If their claims are true this  product looks very promising for brazing the tank and maybe more, take a look  at the video in this  page:

                      http://aluminumrepair.com/video_new.asp     

              (you  might need to use IE to view it)

           

  I’ve checked the archives and the only mentions of this  product goes back to Jan 2004 by David Barth who questions if this product can  be used. 

           

  Have anyone tried this product?

Having done it myself, My advise is either to  commit to lerning how to weld yourself (posibly time consuming) or have them  welded by someone who knows how (posibly the cheapest way)!  Anyone  interested in my overall experiences contact me.

We use the aluminum brazing products at work to build and repair Air  Conditioner lines.While they work great for joining aluminum line and fittings  they get real hard to deal with on sheets. The finished strength is really  questionable.
