The tank ends are just under ¼” steel head .230 Shell .221 it was built 1947. The sides are almost that thick.

It has so much oil on it there is no rust on the tank.

It has a Quincy 325 pump. This pump has been made for years and more than two million sold. QR series was started 1937 and they still make the QR 325 today.
Rated 18.7cfm at 175 psi

It has a three phase motor. I may just get a single phase 5 HP motor.

I had to drive over two hours one way to get it.
It was outside Charlotte North Carolina.

I got if for $100
