I've dug up to pump out plenty of plastic septic tanks. Never seen one cracked or crushed. Just as long as it's full, there's really no way they could cave in. They were all at least a good quarter of an inch thick and tougher than hell. However, a double walled tank isn't bad either, and you're right, it would probably outlast me. Got any idea on prices?

Pay homage for what and to whom?

I used to design fueling stations for municipalities abot 15 years ago when the double walled tanks first started to be used. They are not at all like septic tanks since those are always full except for a week every three years when they get pumped out. We evaluated fiberglass and steel and even at a municipal garage next to where they store salt we ended up specifying steel. I saw too many photographs of broken fiberglass tanks.

Well, as a back up generator fuel tank, it would also be full 99.9% of the time. It would only get fuel run out of it when the generator was needed or ran for maintenance checks. But double walled steel sounds good, with a fuel level senor. Probably capacitive like we had in the jets.
