Welding Fuel Tank - 4x4 Off-Road UTV Build Ep.17
TIG welding the outside of the 4x4 UTV while MIG welding the inside. I just started learning TIG welding so this is very new to me. So welding something that has to hold liquids is a great task. But I hope I achieved what I was looking for but I will not know before pressure testing this homemade fuel tank. But TIG welding is cool and I hope to take it to another level. A lot of practice is needed though. :)
This is part of a series of a four wheel drive utility vehicle build to lessen the work load on my trusty 2002 Honda Foreman Rubicon TRX500FA. This partially answers the question "Why?" but for those who want to ask "why don't you just buy a side-by-side instead of building one?" I just want to say - I'm not made of money. Side-by-sides are ridiculously expensive, even the car I drive around daily is worth less (not worthless though!), hell, it is even worth less than my 2002 Honda ATV.
"How much HP will it have?" - the 1.4 litre FWD petrol engine I'm planning on using has 55 kw and this will not change, but the torque will be tripled via the BMW differentials I'm using to transfer power to front and rear axles.
"It will be too heavy!" - this project just like the firewood processor project does not have to float. And a heavier vehicle will handle better anyway when hauling heavy loads.
Stay tuned for future episodes! Thanks for watching!
