It's going to be tough, the axle is going to go all the way thru the tank. I have rigid all steel casters to make me a roller so I can find center. Once I have center, I am going to use a carbide hole saw to make the holes for the axle. It's going to be tough to weld the axle in if I have water leaking out around the axle.
I was planning on using sand for the ballast, I am wondering if sand would mitigate any chance of explosion or expansion? I am honestly not worried, the last two guys who had it for a couple of years each, had left it open to the atmosphere, the first guy pulled all the valves.
I need someone else to calculate the volume to make sure I have the weight correct. Tank is 36" in diameter and overall it is 63" long, center section is 45" to the center of the cap welds and the caps are 8 1/2" deep from the center of the weld.
Thanks Darryle
