Update: I ended up purchasing a pair of Dutch military heavy duty tanks from PA Blanchard. They come complete with drain plugs, filler caps, and the telescoping fill tubes. Check 'em out:

It seems like you will end up spending more than the original $400.00 you didn't want to spend

Anyway, they look pretty nice.

Hmmm how much do you want for your leaking tank?

Yeah, about $700 more. It was the right thing to do.....at least that what I keep telling myself.

My brother and I always say, "It's only money." Some day I'll convince myself.

Received the Dutch tanks, and they are certainly heavy duty. These things weigh a ton! They are also single wall at the bottom, so that should eliminate any possibilities of rust. They are also a slightly smaller tank - don't know why.
One was damaged in shipment - both mounting flanges were bent. After a few hours of work, the flanges look good again, but will require some paint work.
