you made your own?! hmm...sounds cheaper than buying one for $200!
How thick is that metal? I don't have a tig, or any other set up to weld aluminum, could I make one from mild steel?

My old setup was a steel tub like Dragula's last pic and it had a plastic tank in it like Chris2412's and straps I made. The new setup, I bought an RCI 10 gal aluminum tank like Dragula's upper pic and I was going to sink it into the floor the same as in his pic. There are tabs on the side and they have to go to a tube frame. Does there have to be a bottom on it to be legal? (being an aluminum tank)

Another thing I still never got a concrete answer on...
Does the top of the fuel cell have to be below the height of the top of the tire?
I always thought this was the rule, so I made mine that way, I could have had more fuel capacity but I thought it wasn't legal.
Was it a rule, is it a rule, or did they drop that rule...?? Anybody know?

I've never heard that rule. But coincidentally I guess, both of mine have had the fuel cell tops below the top of the tire. So I guess thats a good thing??!!!
