six conversion oil tanks, any interest? Options

[goose2]

A local friend is one of the best metal fab guys in the country and we've been kicking around this idea. Is there a big enough market for another, better, oil tank?
I think we could offer it a bit cheaper than what's out there now. Could I get some feedback regarding what would be the ultimate 914-6 oil tank....size, material, construction, features, baffling, etc?

The stock baffling is not too intricate.
keep searching .. here and on pelican
I've seen pictures, and I've also seen computer drawings

There is a tiny bit of plumbing inside of a stock tank.
Enough that the oil is forced through the oil flter at some point. I'm trying to remember the order of events, but I believe that the oil is forced into the tank under pressure from the motor/pump. I believe it enters the plumbing and then the filter, and then spills out through the screen. Finally it puddles into the bottom where it then gravity siphons into the motor return line. The motor return line has a little suction helping also.

the baffling is really a anti-foam piece of screening. The oil is forced to run through a piece of screen to reduce the frothing of the oil.

I would be interested in buying a tank.
here is what I would need in one in order of importance:

1) stock location mounting ability.
2) 300-400ish dollar price range
3) stock or better levels of baffling.
4) provision for an oil filter in the stock location would be really nice!

your right its really not rocket science.
your friend will need to be careful that he does not contaminate the inside of the tank with any welding slag/extra welding wire, or anything that would blow a motor up.
