Fill with water make it air tight and weld a air line fitting to it

A friend of mine made one for one of his customers to go on the back of a small lorry. But I imagine scrapping your tanker and buying a second hand one rather than repairing your imploded one would be financially the best.

Air is compressable and if let out quickly goes with a bang
Better off with a pressure washer
If it leaks then just get a squirt of water

Do they expect a different result the next time they go sucking?

Won't tell you about the 500 gal one I use, gets the job done and like the Davey brown towing it only wrote out one cheque for it. Not prepared to have newer shiny kit on finance just to make me feel more efficient.

What will the neighbours think?

In a collective sale the next day perhaps?

They just wave and smile sympathetically as they wizz by in their big tractors and I wave back whilst trying to work out what said tractor costs a month.

Weld some bars inside it once it’s back to normal shape

I’ve seen one fixed with small acrows

Personally I don’t think that is a good idea. If it has imploded that’s telling you it is getting thin. By putting stuts inside the next thing that will happen is an explosion, which could be very nasty.

They usually implode because the pipe is sucking the floor or a lump

What did the tank used to be on when you made your own axle supports?

Back in the day i would have done 1000s of loads with a 900 gallon molex. All a little larger now, even better i don’t drive it very often

original tank, but it started to pull in from the vacuum in the part where the axle is
