    Mate dropped his bike on a stump yday n split the tank on bottom RHS. Pretty innocuous lay down but nonetheless she was pissin out fuel. Can these tanks be welded? If not does anyone have a spare or good place to get one from(not necessarily oem as I'm assuming they'll cost a fortune)? Do new husky tanks fit the bergs? Cheers

    Ohh it's a 13 berg fe350

    For USA spec models, '13 Husaberg FE350 has same tank part number as 2014 Husky FE350.
    OEM is USD $560. IMS is half that.....

    Plus the IMS tank carries more fuel => longer range.

    I've plastic-welded gas tanks before [with hit-n-miss results]. If it's HDPE it's fairly straight forward. Looks fugly afterwards though- buy a nice decal or graphics kit.

    A solder iron with a paddle blade works best for me. Look it up (YouTube?) for better instructions; I'm no expert.

    good luck.
