No disrespect meant...

I believe that Tired Iron was suggesting that you go to the Question/suggestion section or possibly the welding metal working section or you can use the search and see if there might be some ideas there.... wish I could help you but never tried to build a gas tank out of anything other than a gas tank made for the vehicle... at least not yet.....!!

only thing id be worried about is the thickness of the walls -- other than that it should be fine.

 

[flowmaster tech]

the side walls of the cylinder look to be about 3/4" thick..i know its way over kill but it was free! ill post some pics tomarow in metal working section of this forum..

holy dung -- should be fine on thickness then.

Usually the thickness around the threads is really thick but the bottle gets thinner down the sides, and thickens up on the bottom. (Yes I have cut them up)

That bottle should make a fine fuel tank.[
Anyone remember the Beer keg fuel tanks?They looked good.
My cousin had one on his 23 T back in early 70`s.
He won a few trophys drag racing that model T at old columbus county dragstrip in Chadbourn N.C. and also kicked a lot of tail with it on streets around myrtle beach,surfside and garden city.
Those were the carefree days.[cl
