I'm about 2/3 the way through welding up my Alloy fuel tank. Hopefully get it finished tomorrow then off to hydro static test for leaks. I'm enjoying learning how to TIG Alloy ![](https://i.ibb.co/FwyHJG3/20240224-112904.jpg) Nicely done, I'm just gonna use a 20L plastic fuel drum as easier to shift and refill lol. Oil tank was just half a stainless steel deep fat fryer welded shut with some spare stainless plate, less welding then and already tank shaped.

Think you're gonna need a lot more holes? It'll probably fill up and overflow the edge lol
