New project??

What do you all think about turning this old aluminum boat gas tank into a diesel storage tank for a trailer or truck bed?

One thing, you won't have to be concerned about it being top heavy. 66 gallons should hold you for a while with your new tractor. Can you weld alum if you need to?

No reason why not, go for it.

Looks good to me. Aluminum welds good with the proper rods. The danger is blowing the tank up from the sparks. I know a guy cutting up old tanks to sell for scrap and one blew up in his face. He made it, but it put a hurting on him.
