New Holland 7030 auxiliary fuel tank

[JeremyD]

Exhaust leak has burnt two holes in auxiliary fuel tank! Just spoke to tank repair man, he wants to know type of plastic I cannot find any numbers on tank!
Does anyone know if these tanks will plastic weld? Or is it scrap? Many thanks Jeremy.

Found PE so will weld apparently!

Jebus, lucky you didn't lose the lot in a fire! I know of a few NHs that went up from that.

We had a fuel tank melt on a nh cr combine during 1 harvest. Couldn't get a new one very quickly so got it plastic welded to keep us going. It was a waste of time as it seeped diesel and the fuel problems we had was terrible from all the little bits in the tank dispite thoroughly cleaning it.
From experience i wouldn't bother, a new one will work out cheaper in the long run and yours does look alot worse than the one we tried to fix

Yes very lucky indeed! Parts of molten tank actually dripped inside! I didn't even notice until I filled with fuel in morning and it started leaking everywhere!

Insurance claim?

Insurance claim?

Found a man called "Geoff" seems to think he can weld it no problem, he reckons the PE type of plastic welds really well. If it doesn't it will be insurance job as they are around £500 second hand!

Why would you not claim off the insurance and just have the job right?
