I was wondering if anybody here has had any experience with low temp aluminum welding/brazing as it may be more technically called as it relates to gas tanks. My plans call for aluminum tanks, but as I'm on a very restricted budget anything that I can do my self and save money is probably the route I'll take. That being said I do'nt want to compromise safety for price. I was thinking about fiberglass tanks but they seem like they would be heavy. This website:

www.aluminumrepair.com

seems pretty together. They list among the appropriate uses for thier product gas tanks, but as my tanks are not in the wings but behind my panel and seat back respectively any input on this system or a similar products suitability for aircraft is appreciated. The main thing that attracts me to systems like this are usability with Mapp Gas, I'm not a welder, I'm a woodworker, buying tools for the latter will be used for a long time, the former would go to waste.

Thanks,
Ed
