I am looking at making a diesel tank for under the tray of my Iveco 50c18. I currently uses a 200L roto moulded plastic fuel tank mounted on the tray. While it has been great on long trips, it's a pain in the ar.. to remove & refit when home when I want to use the full tray.
I have a space under the tray 2400 x 650 x170 where I can mount a tank permanently. I could make a rectangular tank 2000 x 640 x 160 to fit in this space which will give me around the 200L. My question for you guys who know your metals, what is the ideal metal & gauge to make it from. If I construct it to the size mentioned, I could use 2 x 2400 x 1200 sheets for the job which would include 2 baffles & 2 end caps. For this project I would use the services of a m8 to tig the seems as I don't have TIG experience yet.
