Thanks Tom, good advice. Will pass it along.

The pop rivets were somebody's fix in the past. I would drill out the pop rivets and then using either a small propane torch or large electric soldering iron melt a small area of the solder in the seam and then with an air nozzle blow the melted solder out of the joint. Work your way around the joint until the tank comes apart. Make sure there are no gasoline fumes in the tank before starting.

A friend has a bad Deluxe short tank. He wonders how to take it apart since it has apparently many many pop rivets and also soldered joints.

Has anyone gone throught the disassembly process?

Is anyone making Deluxe short tanks?

Does anyone have one they could part with?

Email me at indnrdr@yahoo and I'll get you in touch with my friend
