Hi i am in the slow process of putting together my own splitter and got thinking the other day about the tank. during the splitting process, the only items that see any real pressure is on the discharge side of the pump and the cylinder, correct? tank does not need to be built to see about #2500 does it? 1st - i will be lucky when the welds on the edges of my tank actuallly don't leak. 2nd i am using 3/8" plate for the tank because it is what i have not because it needing to take the pressue, right? I like the idea of a sturdy tank for a good place to mount the axle for transport (just like store bought) but i wanted to ask about the pressure inside the tank to at least make it look like i know what i am doing. Thanks
does the tank see hydraulic pressure?

The tank should see no pressure and should be vented to allow for expansion and contraction of the fluid when it warms up.
No pressure on the tank (vented) and only a small pressure on the discharge side due to flow resistance in the line and filter.
