Yeah, that would strengthen it immensely. And be easy to do and remove if the time came.

The final take, of sludge from the tank. Yup, amazing what you can get for FREE Sometimes! Took it away for disposal. Glad I had my friend along who got me the tank to partake in the joy. Funny, he got a little miffed when he soiled a white sock on one of the cans!


i found another really nice 2", two foot long rubber flex hose in there. ALMOST, stupid enough to salvage it and clean it.

Decided that what I thought was a tarp, was probably hundreds of blue kim wipes!

When I worked at a service station, they put dry ice into the tank before they welded on it.

Just use a reciprocating saw. If you don’t have one the can be bought cheap at harbor freight. It’s a lot less bull crap than other methods just take your time so everything stays cool once it’s cut in half flip the ends so the cuts are up and either burn the sludge or scrape it out and take it somewhere
