Fuel storage tanks project

[nico]

Looking for ideas for water storage tank i came across a picture of oil storage tanks which gave me an idea.A Fuel storage tank from bits and pieces i had lying around
first thing was the tanks ,i had some used water filters that looked the part

next was the base for the tanks i had plenty of wood lying around which i shaped to take the filters

i painted two filters enamel gray

painted the bases

and assemble

still need to find something to make a 90degree bent for pipes coming from the tanks 10mm dia 8|8|

Nice use of "found" materials. With their domed ends they have a slight look of gas/ lpg tanks to me - another possible industry that could be served by rail.

Hi Nico - good recycling and looking very industrial - you could use 10mm Microbore elbows?
