Lister JP dry sump tank

[flatplane8]

Our JP3 dry sump tank was one of the steel ones, not copper, and had developed some leaks. I thought it could be repaired, but it was beyond salvage. Local metalwork company, R&P Metalwork in Lowestoft remade it in stainless, and managed to incorporate the filter screens too. Lovely job, now should I polish it to a mirror finish? (just kidding)

No, no you're not, you're not joking at all ...... are you?

That looks a good job.

It's always a pleasure to see what people that know- and like their job can do.

Oh now, if only you'd said!

I have a spare Lister copper one and I doubt if the one in use on the boat will wear out so it would be available to real causes like you, but not to dealers! I've had the offers thanks.

I've helped friends restore listed buildings and 'ageing' is generally dis approved of.

 

Their rules are if it's a new addition it should be reversible. If a repair it must be sympathetic (materials etc) but best to let it show.

 

OP. That's a brilliant bit of tinware you have there. Real skill. Not mirror finish but a satin would mark your input and add a mark on the boats time line.

 

Edit 'cause it needed it.

Thanks for all the comments, I too think they've done a great job. It won't be polished, just installed as is. Thanks too for the offer of the copper one, good to know they are still out there!

No you shouldn't polish it.... you should take it to a plating company and get it copper plated ;0)
