Jake I planned on doing the same bur couldn't make the sump fit properly close
to the edge. So I just machined one from aluminum. Can share a pic upon my return
from Florida.

You need to find another welder and now you know the questions to ask up
front. Your tank should not be a problem.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: aluminum welding troubles
Frustrated in Arkansas. I took my 050. aluminum sheet metal gas tank to the
local sheet metal fabricators , and they tell me it will be a couple of days
before they can weld it . I wait two weeks and call and they tell me they
are afraid to try it because they feel the tig machine they have won't weld
that thin .... Why didn't they tell me that two weeks ago. DANG!!!!

A custom car builder (Mustang specialist) did some MIG welding on 22 gauge
(.0299 thick) stainless steel for me. Said it took some attention to keep
from burning through and he had to weld up a tiny hole that he burned
through.
Every other welder I found in my area were specialists in welding on Oil
rigs or Semi Trucks, they either said no or priced themselves out of the
market (Cheapest was $85) . The mustang guy did it as a favor for me for
$25).
