What Services We Offer

Why Fuel Tanks Fail

Fuel tanks are exposed to road debris, vibration, moisture, and environmental contaminants. Over time, these factors can lead to corrosion, cracking, weakened seams, or internal contamination that affects fuel delivery.

Common warning signs include:

Fuel odors around the vehicle
Visible leaks or wet spots
Reduced fuel efficiency
Contaminated fuel systems
Mounting or strap failure

Early inspection helps prevent fuel loss, system damage, and safety hazards.

Safe, Code-Compliant Fuel Tank Repairs

All fuel tank repairs are completed using proper materials, welding methods, and safety procedures to ensure reliable performance and compliance with applicable standards.

Repair-First, Practical Solutions

When a tank can be safely repaired, we do so. When replacement is the better option, we source and install tanks designed for durability and long-term use.

Reliable Fuel Tank Repair and Replacement

Fuel tanks must safely contain fuel while withstanding vibration, road debris, temperature changes, and long-term exposure to moisture. When problems develop, quick and accurate service is essential. Our technicians inspect tank condition, mounting points, seams, and connections to determine whether repair or replacement is the safest and most cost-effective option.

We focus on restoring structural integrity and proper fuel containment so your vehicle or equipment can return to service with confidence.

Our Fuel Tank Safety and Repair Process

Working on fuel and gas tanks demands strict safety protocols at every step. Here is how we handle each job:

Assessment and Intake

We inspect the tank, identify the fuel type, and document damage, leaks, or corrosion.

Purging and Decontamination

We fully drain, purge, and steam-clean the tank to remove all flammable vapours before any repair work begins.

Repair or Reconditioning

Depending on the damage, we weld cracks, seal leaks, treat corrosion, or apply internal coatings to restore the tank.

Pressure Testing

Every repaired tank is pressure-tested to confirm it holds without leaks.

Final Inspection and Return

We complete a final quality check before releasing the tank back to the customer.

Safety is not optional when fuel is involved. We follow strict decontamination and ventilation procedures on every single tank that comes through our shop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fuel and Gas Tanks

Can a fuel tank be repaired or does it need replacement?

In many cases, a fuel tank can be repaired rather than replaced. Small leaks, pinhole corrosion, and cracked seams are all repairable through welding or sealing. However, if a tank has widespread corrosion, structural thinning, or damage that affects its integrity, replacement is the safer option. We assess every tank individually and give you an honest recommendation based on what we find.

What causes fuel tank corrosion?

Fuel tank corrosion happens when moisture collects inside the tank, often from condensation during temperature swings or from water contamination in the fuel supply. Ethanol-blended fuels speed up the process because ethanol attracts and holds moisture. External corrosion comes from road salt, mud, and debris exposure over time. Tanks that sit unused for long periods with partially filled fuel are especially prone to internal rust.

Do you clean and recondition fuel tanks?

Yes. We offer full fuel tank cleaning Red Deer services that include draining, steam cleaning, rust removal, and internal coating application. Reconditioning restores a tank to reliable working condition and can save hundreds of dollars compared to buying a new tank. This service is especially popular for classic vehicle restorations and equipment that has been sitting in storage.

Is it safe to repair a gas tank?

Gas tank repair is safe when performed by trained technicians using proper procedures. The critical step is complete decontamination. We purge all fuel vapours and steam-clean the interior before any welding or heat-based repair work begins. Attempting a gas tank repair without proper purging is extremely dangerous. Our shop follows strict protocols that eliminate ignition risk before we ever strike an arc.

What types of fuel tanks do you work on?

We work on automotive fuel tanks, heavy truck diesel tanks, marine boat tanks, agricultural equipment tanks, and industrial fuel storage tanks. Materials include steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and polyethylene. Each material requires different repair techniques, and we have the equipment and training to handle all of them. If you are unsure whether we can work on your specific tank, call us and we will let you know.
