There's an article about this at the WestSystem/Epoxyworks website
(www.epoxyworks.com/indexprojects.html). I can't link directly to the article
because the site uses frames. The Gudgeon Bros. book has stuff on the subject
too. WestSystem can supply the correct resins, etc. I've built one tank like
this and AFAIK it's still going strong, 20 years later. Using the white pigment
really helps while inspecting the tank for flaws, as well as subsequent
maintenance (should that be necessary).

You may want to look into various regulations and insurance requirements before
doing this. Also, with the amount of labor involved, a polyethylene tank starts
to look pretty cheap.
