    That's 3,527 pounds of water.
    Could be disastrous for a half ton pickup.
    Would likely be catastrophic for a sub half ton pickup.

    weld from inside first & use AIR yo breath on a force supply !
    Slow low heat is the way .
    Take lots of drinks in straw mode to wait & relax the weld

    I am thinking of doing something along this line. Run my generator and deep well pump long enough to to fill a 550 gallon black plastic tank from Tractor Supply then use a RV 12 volt water pump to feed the house.

    Actually it' less energy if your using a gravity feed and simply filling an upper reservoir rather then pressurizing a system.

    Hi Cruisin,
    Stainless steel tanks do not need soda based cleaner. We can simply use utensil cleaning soap.
