Lot's of "if's" in the build it yourself equation..
Finding, modifying, piping, controlling and insulating 1000 gallons of storage presents a lot of challenges. And don't forget the chimney required for a normal gasser.
It is much simpler and far less time consuming to buy everything in an integrated package that you know will work. (IE: Garn Jr.)
Is time a factor? Is your labor input free or could you be making $$ somewhere else?
A Jr would be $10,995 plus the flue/intake kit ($500), plus the Chemical Treatment program($350?) plus freight ($500?) so you are looking at a package delivered to your door for around $12-12,500.
When I have done the bits and pieces/DIY thing for people the cost is nearly always +/- $1000 of that figure unless they get their 1000 gallons of storage for next to nothing.
You have to remember that if you're going pressurized storage you have to factor in an large expansion tank also....something around 70-100 gallons capacity. Then add in piping, pumps and controls to make it work right......
All I'm saying is be honest about the value of your time and know the true cost of bolting everything together and making it work before you pull the trigger on something.
