I do not have a welder out here, plus the airport that I am taking lessons from suggested using Proseal. The plane I am taking lessons in had a leak that they said was from a weld cracking and had to remove the tank to fix it. They said that the Proseal will flex allowing the tank some movement and not leaking.

Are you welding or riveting/prosealling your tanks? I used 0.032 5052 instead of 6061. The extra thinkness is a little bit easier to weld. 5052 is the strongest non heat treated alloy. And every description I have ever read about 5052 is that it is for making aircraft fuel tanks.
