You'll be Ok for just over one winter season, even with 10% Ethanol. Top the tank to full so there is little to no oxygen in the tank and just run a tank through it in the spring and you'll be good. Anything longer than one season will require a different plan of attack.

I do this too, works very well. Four ratchet straps and your completely off the ground in little time and safely suspended.

A traditional grease gun will work fine, it just does not lock on like an automotive type fitting and will require you to hold pressure. Or you can use a needle grease tip or mini gun like these- https://www.amazon.com/Lincoln-Lubrication-5803-Grease-Needle/dp/B0002SR6XE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=14942...

I had to have this repair done many years ago and brazing worked (and continues to work) well. Clearly this is a stress failure and the rather large amount of bronze used has likely spread the stress and reduced the strain on the sheet metal. I agree that brazing does tend to work better on thinner...

So take it to someone that does.


Mig welding is going to be the only worthwhile repair option for your situation. I suppose Brazing may work OK as well.

Your welcome. And I look forward to seeing them.
