Leak was on the bottom where it meets the side. Tank was built in 1990 with the old standards. Only .090 aluminum. I've read that aluminum tanks have a life expectency of 15-20 years so it was due. New tank is .125 and is epoxy coated.

I hear you. I was pretty nervous about this project myself. Got a lot of good advice from some good friends. Project has gone pretty smooth so far.

What did the new tank run, replacing my 100 gallon soon and looking for a ballpark. I like the epoxy coating

My tank is a 55 gallon tank and came with fill, vent, 1/2" pick up tube, fuel gauge sending unit, ground lug and epoxy coating for $750.00.
