Now Thats a Fuel Tank!

I was looking through images for pictures of 3-1/2 inch stacks and found this.




An Anheuser-Busch beer keg was repurposed as a diesel fuel cell using brackets welded to the bed.

I am about 99% sure that beer kegs have a plastic liner. I wonder what happened to that liner when he welded the tabs and filler neck on?

It's an Anheuser-Busch barrel, so indeed, no beer was involved...... (if anything, dumping the original contents constitutes a community service....)

I built a 70 gallon auxiliary tank for my truck, but it needs a bit more work before it can go into service. The new chassis has dual tanks as well, so over 100gallons of capacity, it will be able to go nearly cross-country on one (expensive) fill up.
