Don: thanks for that. I recall reading of that product. I'd have to pull the tank to thoroughly inspect it so would likely just replace it. Alistair: yes. Had seen that tank. I agree. In terms of time, it would be tough to make it worthwhile. It would be an excuse to try setting up my MIG for AL though. Just the thought of drilling into stainless makes me cringe. But at $272 Cnd., that's pretty pricey for a tank. But then maybe I'd keep it if I did a conversion. Hmm..... I'll post pics of the NOS tank my parts guy has.
