Since it's a flat bottom it may be possible to replace the entire bottom
if the rest of the tank is viable. Empty, even a tank that size isn't
that difficult to lift.


Someone else suggested welding a new bottom on. Do they lift it up with a
crane and then cut the bottom off and fabricate a new bottom?

Or do they tip it over on its side and weld the bottom on from the side?

I wouldn't want it rolling down the hill!
