Converting Regular to Uniflow

[DanielGelinas]

Hi all,

I have a pile of regular metal tanks I would like to convert to uniflow.
Is the answer as simple as changing the regular fill tube to a longer (to the back, outboard) tube and resolder? Do I need to open up the sides for this?

Also, what type of soldering tools do you use? Electric, Butane...?
I have a Weller soldering gun in the 900 to 1100 degree range. Is that OK?

Thanks,

As far as the solder gun goes that is what I've used with good success. remember to test for leaks after you make your alterations.
