Sounds like a good plan to me. The 16 Gallon capacity should not be a problem. That gives about a 200 mile crusie range at 13 mpg. My 56 exec has a 17 gallon junk yard find, i have no idea what it came out of. The 17 gallon has not presented any problems.

I'm still wondering if your profit margin could be greatly increased if u made a wooden die and hand hammered a close-enuf-for-rock'n roll tank ala oem tank. It would only require one wooden die because the top half of oem tank is from the same oem die that the bottom was stamped from. Maybe a good future offering.

For now, your plan sounds like a good one. Especially once every one gets tired of the internal coatings of various sealer systems begin to cause troubles 3 or 4 years down the road if not sooner.
