The concept I'm advocating is following the advise of experienced tank
makers who know how to build to specifications and standards. And stand
behind their work.

I'm not advocating any specific material. I'd talk to a half dozen
builders with experience and see if they agree on material and
construction. (They do, by the way).

Why so all this speculation? Talk to someone who makes tanks, then
follow their advise.

I had aluminum diesel tanks made at Pipe Works, in Long Beach, Ca. They
know what they are doing.

If everything goes according to plan, I'm about to buy a Grand Banks

Any thoughts from this group on the best material for new tanks,
fabrication hints, and/or removal/installation suggestions?
