I sent this originally to Gary Booth's address, but they kicked it back saying that the address failed -- for some reason. So I'm sending it again on the Piet list. Gary, I'm just about to the point of building up my center section. I was originally planning on making a C/S tank of composites but with the advent of Ethenol in our gasoline I figured I had better build one of metal. I remembered a picture you posted last December of your gas tank. I have some questions:1. What is its capacity and it's dimensions?2. I assume it is made of aluminum -- is that correct? If so, what grade and thickness of aluminum did you use?3. What kind of sealer did you use?4. Are they hardware store rivets or did you get them from an A/C materials supply?5. Is the top of the tank covered?6. What are the two large rectangular holes in the top of the tank?7. Do you have any more pictures of the tank -- maybe in process of building?8. Do you have any plans? If so, how could I get a set?I would really appreciate any information you can give me. Your tank looks about what I need. I can't weld so a tank made of steel is out. Thanks, Chuck________________________________________________________________________________
