thanks. where can i find fuel bladders? i calculated volume then converted it and found that each tank half will hold over a gallon and a half (total about 3.2 gallons.) that might be a little heavy, just under 20lbs when full...i understand i don't have to fill them, but i don't want the fuel sloshing around...so yeah, where do i find these fuel bladders of which you speak?

Yeah I was sorta thinking that...
Another idea I had was to make a tank from tin and then solder it, but the price for sheet tin is -very- expensive. What might work is to find some tin cans and solder them together for your liner and then make a nice wood + epoxy outside for it.

The old cylidrical brass tanks. I think it can be modified to work.

well, while JB Weld is gasoline/oil proof, some on this site will say that it's not very strong. The oil pan of my car had to be patched (long story) and it was done with JB Weld, and it held up until I hit a very frozen piece of concrete (it was -4 F as well...)
