After some
test fitting of my cardboard mockup, we found it was
a bit awkward. It's a big tank, for sure, but part of the problem is the fact that the
Benz's trunk is already a bit cramped. The diesel tank is right behind the rear seat, which is exactly where I like to put the veggie tank. So, the veggie tank has to fit in there with
the diesel tank, while trying to maintain a reasonable amount of trunk space.
I decided that I'd make it shorter at the base, and then about halfway up, taper out towards the trunk opening. This should allow us to get some larger items in the trunk, and still maintain a 110 liter capacity.
So after much trial & error, here's
version 4.0:
I also got some steel to start
fabbing up the tank. I'll be using
POR15 on the inside to prevent any reactions between the
vegoil & steel.
