Stainless 2.5 gallon methanol tank
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a 8"x12" tank that is 6" deep. It holds right about 2.5 gallons. Weights 9lbs 8oz. The tank is all 304 stainless, has a center splash baffle with holes for flow as well as a "sump box" in the front of the box. The outlet is a 1/8th npt that runs through a stainless pickup tube, through the ceter bafle and into the front sump box. So the pickup in in the center of the box at the very front. The sump box is 8"x4" and 1.5" tall, with holes to allow it to fill. There is a low level sensor at the back of the box for a warning light or any other device. I was going to mount the pump to the back of the box with a piece of alluminum but decided to wait and see if the buyer wants that done or not. It will only take a day to weld the 4 stainless nuts to the back of the box to mount the plate, it is up to the buyer. The tank was tested with a snap on smoke machine/pressure tester. Bottom of tank is the same color as the rest, the pic just cam out crappy. PUMP IS NOT INCLUDED!
This is an awsome tank and it looks great but there are a couple very minor defects. During welding there was some metal flex that left a couple dimples in the bottom. Some warping made the top welding not as perfect as I like, it looks good, just not as good as the sides. There were a couple spots from welding the baffles that I had to smooth out. If you look very hard you can see a few scratch spots in a couple places. All and all the tank is awsome, you will never see any defects unless you know where to look and have just the right light. I just was to make sure the buyer knows everything. Price is $200
