My biggest fear would be welding leaks. Even the professionals using professional tools have issues with imperfect plastic welds and have special tools to detect them. In Silvie's defense, I think pressurizing the tanks was a great idea, and your tanks are likely stronger now than they would have been had you not discovered the weak points. Filling a stationary tank with water is one thing, having several hundred pounds of water (or sewage) sloshing around in a bay going down the road is another. Best to find out now. How many PSI did you pressurize?

@LacroixCruiser

She pressurized to about 30 psi. You’ll see in the next episode, we are not relying on the welds to support anything.

HDPE or ldpe

Thanks a bunch for your thorough video. I´m about to get into constructing a custom tank for my RV. I need to know though, because the water tank in my vehicle is gonna be a supply for both shower and the regular tab, so is the materials and the methods you use food grade? I wont be using the water from the tank for ingestion, but for rinsing vegetables, doing dishes, for brushing my teeth and taking a shower. I hope you´ll take the time to answer my question. Cheers.

Just a 1/2 npt fitting. The top was just welded on the outside of the tanks, and the baffles do no go to the top of the tanks to not create any air pockets.

I tried to make a tank using this process and failed. Couldn't get it not to leak because of poor welds. If I were to try again I'd use nitrogen instead of air for the welding.

That’s a good idea.

If I may ask, how much did the materials cost to make 2 tanks that size? I ask because I sourced two 165 gallon tanks and the total was just over 1600 USD. I know I can rent the heat gun a welding tips from my local home Depot for relatively cheap, so if the materials aren't too expensive I may do the same thing with my bus. Moreso for the reason of better accuracy for placement of the fittings like you did taking the base in and lining it up first. Keep up the great work though!
