I would inquire as to local regulations, here unless the tank is UL approved (either a manufactured tank, or modified truck tank) they get excited. On certain size tanks you may also need to have a decal identifying the contents.

Yea I tend to overbuild things, but every square tank that I have ever seen a leak in was at the corner weld where it cracked, so in my rednech way of thinking 1/8 or close gives you more to work with as far as penetration without getting it too hot. I would also use a couple of baffles in it too.
