An often overlooked source of "Stuff", is auctions. Not at auction
Houses, but at homes out in the country or small towns. Look for them
in local Newspapers and "Trader" type rags. An amazing amount of new
Craftsman tools, still in the package, shop, yard and auto tools
abound. New stuff and tools are bought for Dad and Pappy, put in the
shop next to others he already has and then he passes on.
Tanks like these can be found there, if it's an area that uses Oil Heat
a lot. Or ask at the Oil dealer, he'll have them back in the yard after
being swapped out.
Another thing I buy at Auctions is Laun Doors. The plain light plywood
doors. I run 2 X 6's from truss to truss in my shop and lay the doors
on them to make storage platforms overhead. Good for parts gathered up
for that project you won't get to.
Just remember to clean it out good before cutting, or don't and let it
burn out.
Regards, Ray

Ray,
Thanks for a great idea. It may be hard to find an oil tank because
of envrio laws, but the concept is fantastic. Could make one from
plywood and line with sheet metal if needed.
Thanks
