and no porosity either....

i think i shoulda used a smaller filler rod instead of using the biggest one they sell.... hahahahahaha it was the only one available at my shop though

hahaha, what weld rod did you use, 4043? did you prep the joints with a bevel, or just a straight butt-weld between the joints? TIG weld? I can't do TIG welds myself, I can only do MIG welds

i believe is 4043 LOL i have no idea they only sell one type of aluminum filler rod on island.... straight up butt weld bro =] no need for the bevel... i used only 1/8 thick aluminum.... my tig penetrated it with ease

i only bevel when i usually weld 1/4 and thicker aluminum which im super used to welding... making the tank was like shooting in the dark... i knew only half what i was doing hahahahahahh.... and yes tig weld.... i love how much control you have on the tig... you can adjust the heat and everything... i dont really use mig for aluminum i usually end up with crappy welds with a crap load of phorosity ahahahah i think im just doing it wrong with the mig though...

i just finished using a small filler rod

all i can say is i should used a stupid smaller rod hahahahahah i welding a exhaust for an rc car.... the welds are tiny lol

would anyone be interested in these tanks if i could produce them? ive been talking to my dad and he said he can make the jigs and bender so there would be less welds... and of course i would use a smaller filler rods

so the welds wont be so huge.... if we get enough people.... at least ten... i will sell the overflow tanks at $180 already powdercoated....

i think thats a pretty badass price considering that its like 1/4 the price of the arc... tell me wat you guys think.... minimum of 10 orders for this to happen....
