Default Water tanks

I made my tanks in 316L stainless. It is expensive, but much better than
plastic. All your choices will work and all are expensive. It is more so
because you cannot do it your self. I guess it is pick your poison and deal
with the result.

Hi all,
I need to sort out my water tank issue - I'm doing up a barge that
has a ~3,000 litre PVC water tank. It doesn't fit out the door, and is
a bit big for my needs... There is a space under the bed in the bow
that would like to put the tank, only its a funny shape.

As I see it I have some options:
- chop it up, throw it away, buy a new custom made steel water tank
- chop it up, throw it away, buy a new custom made PVC water tank
- chop it up, stick it back together to make my own custom PVC water
tank.

Has anyone got any experience of making their own water tanks? OR does
anyone know anyone in the bristol area that does PVC welding?

thanks in advance,
