The original that I posted about a year ago is running out in the shop now, but it's on it's last legs. I knew it was getting thin and it sprung a leak over night. I think it was shut down for a total of 6 weeks out of the last 12 months. Time for a little redesign, I'm thinking. Russ Probably 1/8" thick steel is a minimum Russ.

Where it sprung the leak was at one of the factory welds where the ring is welded onto the bottom of the tank. Could patch it up, and may, but it's going to be awhile before I can get to it. Russ

It would be helpful if you could lay a bead down on the inside of the tank.
