    I replied to this thread again, but it said a moderator had to check it before it could be posted. And it never showed up.

    I built my tank for around $450 including the stainless sheet, bending (local shop), pump, sender, and fittings.

    Anyhow, do a Google on "MIG welding stainless steel". There's a lot out there. Check out Miller's and Lincoln's website.

    Hi wagoncrazey
    There are 2 types of gas that are good for what you want to do with a Mig weld
    The first is : For a short circuit transfer a tri mix gas consisting of:
    90% helium
    7 1/2% argon
    2 1/2% carbon dioxide
    #2 For a spray tranfer use 98/2 Consisting 98% argon /2 %Carbon dioxide

    You guys and your freedom of speech issues just crack me up. Jeez, you'd think there were someplace else that was seriously restricting that. ?
    I'm pullin' yer chain's guys. relax...

    Back to the thread:
    OK. I have some reading up to do to see if I could infact tackle this tank build with my little Lincoln 135 and the right wire and gas. Not yet ready to jump into it just yet (still hung up on that firewall build) but planning my next moves. Cash flow is the killer right now. "The Tax Man Cometh" and he burned me again...
