In my experience, this was a tough one. Tanks are hard to find.

Try Dave Cox in Kalamazoo, MI

phone (269) 217-3008

In May 2021 he welded a crack on the top of my tank. This is specialized stuff to weld aluminum but he's the guy. Very skilled.

Works from his garage at home. I drove my tank from Chicago to Kalamazoo and picked it up when he was done. Paid him cash. Wasn't crazy. Less than $500 as I recall. Maybe even $300. I cannot remember exactly. Herb Harney from this site connected me to him.

He might remember me. He also installed some structure to the tank as it was "oil canning" which caused a fatigue crack and leak when tank was full.

I can probably track down some photos if you need them. Dave Cox was retired as I recall spending many years working at Duncan Aviation I believe at the Battle Creek Airport (KBTL) if my memory serves.

Good Luck..., keep us updated.
