Hi Bruce, I did roll the edges, the factory told me that it is a must, it gives the tanks alot of strength. Unfortunetly, I still have not got my tanks welded. Two years next month since I took them to the guy! Im getting close to needing them so i'll need to find someone elso to weld them.

Steven, did you roll the edge bead on the tanks before you welded them? Just wondering if that is necessary.

Hi Lucas, I took the tanks to a friend welder of mine the next day after this pic, and he said that it would cost me $40.00 an hour and probally a 2 hour job for both. I still have not got the tanks back yet, but I'll let you know what the cost is total.

How much is the welding of the fuel tanks going to cost you?
