 * Cut 1/4"x4"x8*fuel tank with cold cut saw, band saw, or torch
 * Clean edges, clean out inside of debris
 * [2] Cut tank ends - 1/4"x4"x8" flats
 * Spray paint pattern of filler cap on top tank closure
 * Torch filler cap hole
 * Drill screw holes for filler cap
 * Fuel line is located at middle bottom of 8" face of tank - torch it out
 * Cut a 1/4" fitting for fuel line
 * Grind and ream all edges to be welded prior to welding
 * Weld fuel line fitting (1/4" npt)
 * Weld bottom and top onto fuel tank
 * Screw in the filler cap
 * Leak test the tank
 * Take off filler cap, tape up top
 * Take off fuel barb, screw in air hose barb
 * Fill tank with 15 psi with compressor.
 * Pour soap solution on seams to determine air tightness
 * Weld over leak spots, iterate as necessary
 * As final step prior to welding to frame - reconnect fuel hose barb, attach 1/4" hose and plug off hose, fill with gas
 * Check for any visible leaks, correct as necessary.

Now it's ready for welding to frame.
