That's exactly why I never take news group "facts" as my single source :-)
I shudder to think of all those inoperable nucular subs and skimmers we have
out there with both soldered and crimped connections! :-) All tanks should
be HY-80 grade steel, minimum two inches thick! Dont't forget to x-ray the
welds.

years recommends aluminum, then someone who has never made a tank thinks
they are wrong.

How many boaters out there have had problems with leaking aluminums fuel

or

water tanks.I understand there shouldn't be any problems so long as the
surface of the tank is kept away from moisture.
