THE IMPORTANCE OF NICKEL PLATING
Nickel plating is a process in which the element nickel is applied electrostatically to all exposed surfaces, both inside and out, of a fuel tank or oil bag. Factory parts already are nickle plated.
Nickel is extremely durable and the casing that results from this process acts as an inpenetrable barrier between your sheetmetal and moisture of any kind. In addition, a nickel plated fuel tank is guaranteed to hold up against today's high octane fuels.
Deano’s strongly recommends that you have your tanks and oil bags nickel plated before paint. We offer this service for $150 per tank and $100 per oil bag. Nickel plating can only be applied to bare metal, and must be done before ANY bodywork and ANY paint is applied. We CAN NOT nickel plate "just the inside" of your tank or oil bag.
Please keep in mind that nickel plating is for metal tanks only. Aluminum tanks do not need to be nickel plated.
We hate tank lining. Over time, regular tank liners will peel and will eventually cause fuel line blockage. Also, high octane fuels can dissolve regular tank linings, which will cause rust and can lead to holes in your tank.
