Are you going to be welding this tank? Make sure you fill it with water or something if you are, an empty tank is probably just as dangerous as a full one when welding because it's the fuel vapour that's the danger.

good point to bring up. for obvious reasons as we don't want anyone to blow themselves up!

but , no I'm not welding it I have started on my e85 swap and I wanted to know if the tank is aluminum or steel turns out it was steel so I'm good.
