Just built a new fuel tank for the welder, pics!

admin

Well i got tired of running out of gas every hour and a half or so on the job and there was a little rust on the inside of it. So i built a new one! It should hold about 12 gallons accoding to my calcs. Turned out great i just need to figure out how to mount it. I was thinking of getting some aluminum angle and mounting it like that. The machine is mounted on una-strut so i was thinking if i built a frame with two uprights on each side and one across to the other side, bolt it to the una-strut using those little thingys and weld it to the tank. What do yall think? Attached Images

Reply:OH CRAP! I forgot how im gonna put gas in and get it out to the welder!!!!!!!!!!!! Its just a big expensive shiny box now! HAHAHHA The vent will be through the cap. The fuel fitting is on the bottom.
