Apparently you don't live in LA - everything along the coast rusts
like crazy - think about it - Long Beach is not desert - it's a marine
climate - salty foggy etc.

Jim,
Think about your statement, Tanks, Long Beach, California, desert. Nothing
rusts in LA. Don't do it in Florida!

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.

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