I salvaged an L-shaped tidy tank from the dump with a little crack in the corner. Fashioned a hook up for an air-compressor through the bung and set it up to blow air steady at 10 psi for a weekend and washed it out good with water, then welded her up. For a little effort, a piece of scrap turned into a useable fuel vessel, still used today. A little leak is no reason to junk it.
If the walls are thin, you are probably spinning your wheels though.
Some of my best "treasures" came from the dump! People throw all kinds of good stuff away, never ceases to amaze me.
And no....I'm not a hoarder lol. I just like repurposing things.
