Nice work and cool truck. You may want to look at the material 5052 for tank construction its a preferred material. It has better corrosion resistance and takes impacts without cracking better.
I'm keep getting side tracked by what appears to be a custom built frame. That frame all of the sudden became more interesting than the tank, so I got to go check it out, lol
@@onebullgarage Yeah, man I just got done watching all of your videos that have to do with fabricating stuff. I really want to build a custom offroad buggy and design it in a way to get rid of all the stupid stuff you run in to when trying to build up a jeep or samurai or truck factory frame. So yeah I'm really into watching what other people are doing when it comes to fabbing frames, bumpers, susp, and stuff like that. Thanks for sharing your project.
Great great, im just a GS Tech right now but man i cant wait to get very knowledgeable as well and move foward... Thanks a bunch for sharing KEEP WRENCHING
All Videos I’ve seen so far are awesome, narration is simple and to the point, content and angles perfect, if you haven’t already go check out Pacific Arc TIG Welding, his channel is a lot like yours, master TIG welder and tons of helpful hints we don’t really pay attention to as everyday welders, keep it up for us needy youtube watchers lol
I would understand this effort if it would be for a prototype involving military research or corporate research. But for "do it yourself" at home (or in personal workshop), I think that the end does not justify the means. An aluminum fuel cell will end its useful life in only few hours after pouring the electrolyte, and if the electrolyte is not evacuated from tank, that degradation happens regardless of voltage being harvested or not. The only way the effort shown in video worth to be performed at home/personal workshop, is if someone intends to submit a patent application at the United States Patent Office, and wants to test the idea before submitting. I gave you a "Like" as reward for your hard work. P.S.: If by "fuel cell" you meant a gasoline tank, that is a completely different story ! But by naming it "fuel cell", you attract a different kind of viewers, those looking for electricity generation from aluminum fuel cell. And that is why you have only 982 views after 15 months.
Everyone knows to use 5052 aluminum for fuel cells...Anything petroleum based uses 5052. A simple google search would have told you this. NO ONE in the automotive industry or trade would use 6061...🤦♂🤦♂ I hope you aren't putting this tank in a vehicle for the street. Gas will eat that 6061 over time, its not chemical resistant like 5052.
Wow! That's really cool, and impressive. Your building a 40 from scratch...while I'm scratching myself, drinking a 40. Lol
One for me one for my homies

Will do, thanks for the info, and for watching!
What size tungsten and filler rod are you using? Awesome skills and build!
3/32 tungsten (pure tungsten) 3/32 4043 filler. With a stubby gas lens no 7 cup thanks for watching!
@@onebullgarageThank you! Love the craftsmanship and thought into your build. My favorite is the rendering in the flatbed build!

Thanks ive got a hand full of videos, check them out, im working on the next video

Nice Thanks! What you do for work? Your great & knowledgeable
I paint cars for a living, thanks for watching

How much would a fuel cell like that cost ?
Couple hundred bucks I'd imagine, lots of similar options for sale off the shelf, but I wanted something specific so I made my own
Cool Name too btw
hi what thickness do you use for material?
.125"

Awesome thanks, I have seen P.A., good stuff, thanks for watching

Update, it just exploded!, fuel everywhere! My garage is a total loss! Several casualties. Send help immediately there's not much time left!
