/lurk mode cancel Hi Walt, A stainless fuel tank sounds wonderful. Have you considered aluminum? I have no experience in metallurgy (hint: somebody who does please help me here) but aluminum always feels cooler to the touch than stainless, according to my hands anyway. It also might be less expensive! However, if aluminum is too weak, my question becomes moot. Okay, two posts in one day is more than enough for me. /lurk mode engage - Farrar
