Keg Gas Tank Idea To Not Welding

[canman]

I am currently working on a keg :cheers: gas tank. I found this website that sells the exact same size bung and cap to match the opening on the top of the keg.

I then found a petcock that matched the same opening of where the tap was 3/8. I just gently removed the tap and that new petcock screws right in. I don't know how to weld on really thin metal so I am going to give it the JB Weld treatment (A great Mike Bean suggestion). From reading the package they say it will work with fuels and oil... well see how that will work. I just don't know if it will hold, but if it works it sure is a lot easier then welding. Tomorrow after it cures I'll do the same with the petcok.

The only other thing I found that would be of comparison and don't want to go though the trouble was this website. They have tanks that are aluminum, but nothing like a real keg.

What welder do you run??

a 175 MIG shouldn´t have any problem in welding that...just "tack weld it"

You have any suggestions on how to mount this. I wanted to use something that already exists or make something. I'm just limited on what I can do.

Take a look at this keg gas tank. You can find it on this web site under Barstool Racer Construction. The final bracket we used is made of 1/4" square tube and clamps but you get the idea.
