Heres a pic of my version of a storage tank.. Many
thanks to everyone on this forum for all the information
shared that was put into this project. I hope to get
it all hooked up soon and ready for winter.
Details on the tank are 420gal 5'x6'x2' 10 ga mild steel, folded corners,
externally reinforced via 2" angle in the middle,bottom and top,
lapped and double welded on the end seams. 3 piece bolt down top,
3 3/4 taps for vent, drain ect. Maybe 500lbs I can lift one end, took over
a hour to unload from pickup and move into daylight basement
Stainless Steel might have been better but @ 3x cost,
this should outlive me. I asked if it had been leak tested,
and was told "Jeff welded it". Need I say more![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
Can anyone suggest the best insulation option
bottom coating/paint and
anti corrosion additive in water.
Would 100' of 3/4 copper be enough for 150k
boiler split into 2 coils?
Comments, suggestions appreciated
