I've considered going with an aluminum tank and then wrap it in fiberglass and epoxy resin it to it. This should stop moisture from effecting the outside, and wouldn't have the problems of fiberglass internally.

Was wondering about that, i figure that would help. But would it really be worth it?? I am trying to see if a buddy of mine will weld me a tank, if i can get it done cheap or cheaper, then i will see about coating it, just to check and see if it works. hmmmm, could be like an experiment ;)

how about just building a tank with epoxy and glass? would the epoxy hold up to gas(and ethanol)? Big Shrimpin built a bracket out of wood and glass, why not build a uel tank out of glass? i wonder if you would have to coat the inside with anything. All the suits involing ethanol and fuel tanks are older tanks that were built with regular resin. I've seen large storgae tanks built out of glass, didn' know what they were holding though, just an idea to ponder over.

I thought that the new cheap gas with ethanol in it will eat through glass tanks. Now this is getting crazy and ridiculous, but if you built a glass tank and coated inside with a polymer base that should work. Just not worth it. Ha ha oh well. maybe i have no idea what i am talking about......

A new custom tank cost me $550 a few years ago from Mattson & Co in Tampa FL. 813-248-8265.
Ask for a guy named Colin, the owner and a super nice guy. www.seamount-mattson.com

If I recall, Stinky Hooker (Stinky where are you) had something made of aluminum
that he then powder coated, I think it was a bracket. I remember this becasue I was very surprised by powder coating of aluminum.
