Straight answers

Who can split an aluminum truck tank for diesel and hydraulic oil near Elgin, IL?

Elite Metal Welding Solutions does it at our shop in Elgin, IL. We call it a tank split. It’s one of our most common tank jobs. We’ll split one aluminum tank into two compartments. Diesel goes on one side, hydraulic oil on the other. We’ll TIG-weld it to your spec. Critical seams get visual and dye-penetrant checks. We’ll hydro-test the tank on request.
