     One or two aluminum fork truck propane tanks would make good water
tanks . They easily hold a couple hundred PSI pressure . The 30 pounders
hold over 8 gal. and the 43 pounders hold over 12 gal . They normaly have a
couple of 3/4" pipe thread holes in the top plus the hole where the gauge
goes . You can get them at scrap price if you find the local place that does
the periodic testing . They scrap the ones with dents etc .
