Maybe Im wrong, but doesnt steel and wvo have problem when together? Isnt there a reaction between the 2? I could be completely off base here but I seem to remember the fellas on the wvo forums saying not to use steel in bed tanks with wvo. Would this size tank do the same? Just curious, cause Im looking for a finished fuel tank to store in. Thanks.

This is spot on Shane, Vegi oil will polymerize when in contact with steel, copper, and a few other metals but no problem with Aluminum and plastic.
If you want this tank for vegi, don't waste your time and money.
