Sealed Tight – Fuel/Oil Tank of the 1905 Riley 9HP Refurbished
May 10, 2022
The tank for the 1905 Riley 9HP has been completely refurbished and tested prior to it being painted and reinstalled by Bridge Classic Cars.
Although the original tank was in fairly good condition, it did require a full refurbishment. Old school lead soldering and modern TIG welding in the same piece cause their own unique problems which had to be overcome during the refurbishment.
The tank is actually segregated to hold both petrol and oil in the same unit, so it has to be completely sealed.
The refurbished tank does feature the original brass fittings.
