My tank is .025 (I think) aluminum 3003 dead soft from a sheet metal ductingshop. the seams are pop riveted and prosealed. Used a chevy filler neckfrom the junk yard and an automotive cap from AutoZone. I modified the capby drilling through an attaching a six inch vent pointed forward. for afloat I designed a home made indicator that protrudes out the bottom. nextto a on/off valve. It is in the wing center section. So far so good. I'lltry my hand at welding my next one out of Al with a torch.Steve e.I think you will see som pics of my tank and indicator at:aircamper.byu.edu-----Original Message-----
