Nice one mate.
Did ya purge the tank before you started cutting/welding on it?
Working on tanks has always made me nervous even after rinsing, drying and purging with argon.

Top job mate!

I used to rapair car tanks easy to purge hook a car exhaust up to the tank and let it run for 10 mins! Easy! Never had one catch fire/blow up!

No purging I like to stare danger in the face,.....once my grinder made it through with no boom I figured it was ok! I just rinsed with water real good and started with water in the tank .

That's nuts! I like it!

I think it needs the manufacturer's name on the side to break up the pattern - perhaps a retro style logo in muted colours.
