What material sholuld I use for a smoke oil tank? Was planniong on 5052---but questions about it on another thread have me thinking.


Is there something better? Should I use 6061 or 1100? 3003?


Tank looks like it's going to be about 12" x 14" x 6". Might be able to make it little larger---won't know for sure until I get ready to mock it up in place.
