Been quite a while since i've made any updates about this project- The truth is i actually pretty much finished it by last Thanksgiving, but had been suffering a misbehaving computer. So here's the wrap up...
Building the tank:
Started by working out the shape in poster board.
Then cutting the three main panels into 20G steel.
I bought a inexpensive English Wheel from Harbor Freight a while back but have been a little intimidated by it. So this is really the first time i've ever really used it. (Which i will be using much more now!)
Dishing the top.
Rough shaping the side panels in a dished stump (Medieval, LOL!). Back to the wheel to smooth them out and pre weld assembly pinned together with screws.
Used the filler from the existing P-212 engine's tank and a old timely farm tractor sediment cup for a filter.
