OEM Fuel tank material

Post by me3@neuralfibre.com »

Does anyone know the thickess and type of the steel used in OEM fuel tanks?

It's pretty thin, MUCH MUCH thinner than whats used in aftermarket tanks.

I know it needs straps to support it and lots of ribs to give it any strength.
That said, they seem to cop the whacks ok.

Thanx
