Looking for a cheap barrel tank to mount on my rear rack. One gallon capacity is good. Not interested in the "under the rack" China tank. Right now, I'm using a 4-liter HT tank on the rear rack. It looks like ****, but gets the job done.

Not interested in spun-aluminum tank, unless it's cheap and used. No plastic tanks either. Guys are crazy here; I don't need someone stealing my tank for scrap, or knifing my tank to steal gas.

Let's see - it needs to be resistant to both knives and tweakers, plus it has to be cheap. In that case my only suggestion is PVC.
 
I built a PVC gas tank well over a year ago and filled it with gas and have left it ontop of styrofoam for fun to see if it leaks..... NOT a single drop in a year now with it sitting every possible way!

IF you use PVC for a gas tank.... you MUST use "SEALS ALL" which is completely gas resistant for the cementing of parts

SEALS ALL is sold at any Lowes or Home Depot
