Bruce. I have been welding aluminum for 6-7 years. It is very different and much harder to weld than steel. Its all about puddle control with the thin stuff and a steady hand. I have a Miller synco wave 200. I use 49-53 amps and I have my pulses per second on 2.5 . You dont need PPS on your machine.... you can do it with your foot if needed. When you can weld 2 pop cans together without burning though you will be ready to weld your tanks. Or just grab some scrap and practice. You can also watch videos on " Welding tips and tricks.com". Good luck

Jesse, I have been trying to weld my tanks but not having good results. Is there any techniques you are using that you could share. I am lining up the edges and welding  straight down on them. My material is .025. I noticed some are using .032 instead. I am pretty good at welding steel but I am missing something here.
