If not, what are my other options in a nutshell..don't want to read through those long post for info that might not be there. Also, what else will I need, filler neck and lid? stainless hoses, etc?

SS braided hoses are a leak waiting to happen. Look racy, though.


What?

Perhaps the cheap-o ones are a leak waiting to happen, but I only use teflon lined ss braided hoses for oil lines.

I go to the hydraulic hose store and they happily make up hoses for me with proper hydraulic fittings instead of those aluminum ones I see so often.

We went with a round tank and mounted it up front (Peterson Enterprises I believe).
It even has a drain on it. (I would recommend getting the sight gauge for it)
