Excellent documentary. Learned a thing or two for my custom project

Marvelous craftsmanship ! I learned a lot from the is video of what to look for in a quality fuel tank. Thank you for posting this video fellas.

what a great and detailed explanation of marine tank fabrication. Thanks

Thanks men for your video. Really good stuff

Some good fabrication just would like to see some PPE (gloves, eye protection sleeves etc....)

And actually a hood on to make tacks!

Excellent work, I wonder though how many baffles did you install inside this 120 gal?

Great video..!

11:51 you have never ran a push / pull wire feed made just for aluminum.. They are amazing and a whole lot faster than TIG only..

Thanks for posting the video. What alloy of aluminum was used to make the tank?

They look very professional

pretty neat.

Nice job! I wonder do they sell materials and/or machine it to a customer's specs? I plan on fabricating a new 125 gal gas tank for my Grady.

Guys done very good job.

Wow was this filmed in the 1950 s . This was before cordless tools.

Those guys have good skills

sheet metal and no gloves, my hands would be all cat up, but they are doing quality work

Has to be a bit more than 120 gallons that tank.

I need to fabricate a gas tank for electric generator. The material that I will be using is 11 ga mild steel. What do I need to know to keep the inside of tank from corrosion.

SUBBED!!!!

Hey What State are they Locared. I'm in Orlando, CDC an you referred me to a Company down here. Thanks

No safety gloves?

Name and model number pls of fuel sender?, I want one like that for my custom fuel tank for my dinghy.

They could have has this done in half the time just by simply using a spool gun instead of tig.

edge to edge= outside corner ( joint)

Seems a bit slap happy to me.

Hello thanks for the video! How much you paid for that fuel tank?

You never got an answer. My best guess is 5052 or 6061.

What is the concern of stainless with aluminum? The two don't touch...except for maybe the screws but, it's stainless. Do you think the two metals would react?

You dont make marine fuel tanks in 1/8" alum...Should be 3/16" Min Coast gaurd wants 1/4" thick 100 gallons or more I will do 3/16" if less than 175 gallons and not a coast gaurd inspected vessel

Avenue Welding not to mention EPA/CARB rules

What grade of aluminum?

They work fast but very unsafe work practices

I'm sure your client appreciates your greasy hand running down the joint about to be welded.

Great looking tank but you should care a little for your workers.... Tig with T-shirts and exposing their skin to harmful UV. Spot weld without wearing welding helmet... people are exposing their skins and eyes to harmful Ultraviolet rays :(

Yes EXACTLY!!! And this guys talking about oxidation in the weld. Aluminum doesnt OXIDIZE. Only way you have a problem is if you overheat and cook the aluminum. This guy is an idiot.

Marine fuel tank... stainless is the better option...

why not use STAINLESS ? it dont rot,Fuel Tanks can be deadly made of CHeap BEER CAN Material

i know its 7 yrs old comment but stainless steel and aluminum is a big difference in weight if you hold both pieces together in each hand.
