well, I finally got it welded up enough it dont seep anymore , but MAN is it ugly ! The guy in the article heliarc welded it they say but it doesnt show the finished job on it either . I think I am gonna weld a couple of nuts on 4 corners and then I can screw a sheet metal cover over the tank and (not weld any on the cover) then I can paint the cover up nice and slick and not worry about making the tank itself nice .Maybe I can find some stainless !!!
