    Well I have finally started my grease conversion on my '92 CTD
    I started by gathering parts..
    I have filters, fittings, heat exchangers, pollack valve, lava line, and I just started making myself a grease tank..
    After looking at a lot of tanks on the web and in person I decided I did not want a tank in the bed of my truck.. (plus I have a bed camper)
    So I am building my own to go where the spare tire goes on my truck.
    Here is what I have so far..
    I am using 14 gauge steel..
    a steel brake I just bought that can bend up to 35" wide.
    the tank size is 30x30x15 estimate 58 gallons..
    you can see in the pick I had to notch a few spots for it to fit where I want it.

    The biggest question is when it is all done if it will hold with out leaks :)

    Good luck with your project. I'm not much of a wrencher, so I decided to let the pros do mine.
