Hahaha! Powerade! That's funny :-) Does that make your car go faster? Hehehe

I can make my old one available at some point after my car is running again, but it has a gigantic hole on one side. Could be patched up with fibreglass and then painted white or something.

just have an aluminium one made, put a level indicator on the side (like some of the oil catch tanks) and polish it till its nice'n'shiny!!!

easy, and cheaper than a crappy plastic bottle from the sharks!

design it yourself.

then go get aluminium.

cut it out.

then go have it welded.

by some metal polish and go nuts - those round discs of material that fit onto drills work quite well. check hardware places like builders whorehouse.

have a nice cap made, or install something like a radiator cap if you'd like.

get those "push" fittings (not sure where, but a friend can get) and a little clear plastic tube.

install it, and...

BAM...

nice shiny aluminium tank.

Hmmmm.. I asked for more details and surely got them fully now. Although I am a front yard mechanic(since joining this Forum and my garage facing the street), I am still not a welder :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :oops: :oops:

yeah - i'm not a welder either unfortunately. i would love to be able to weld.

maybe i should take a welding course or something, but that aluminium tig welding looks very difficult. perhaps better to let the pro's do it.

and i think the welder that can do that thing (like tig or whatever) costs a blerrie fortune

hows about brazing - will that work on aluminium?

I CAN GET LOTS AND LOTS OF ALU!!!
