Re: Odd shaped tank

Yeah I believe so. So if the circumference is 72 then I'm guessing Tuscaloosa is saying diameter is 23? If so then that's why the calculator number have looked so odd. Thanks for the patience. This is my 1st build & I don't wana screw it up & waste $$. Lol.

He had a old 50 gallon air tank that he let me have. When I got it home I measured it & the circumference is 72 in. & 36 in. Tall. So basic...

Re: NEW GUY From St. louis,Mo

Thanks, glad to know I have help close by, lol. I've been looking @ the calculator to figure out the size of my fire box, intak & stack length & I'm glad I did. I see there's more to it than just picking random sizes, which I probably would've ended up doing until I joined this forum. This will be a...
