Default Home made methanol tank

I didn't have the money to buy the nice methanol tank from alky control when I bought there methanol system. I work at a fab shop so I grabbed a couple pieces of scrap stainless and tacked this up its nothing special I haven't finished it yet so before I do I was wondering does anyone see why it wouldn't work right. I put the baffle inside it to keep the methanol gravity feeding to the pump I just haven't welded the fitting in place this tank should hold about 2 or so gallons and be mounted in the bed of my s10 with a make shift lid and fill neck any suggestions let me know






This is where the tank will sit on some rubber bushings

The cap is just a 316ss pipe thread cap but it works for now till I order a fuel cell cap and template to add a more stealth clean look

I have seen a lot of guys use lids like the ones on boat decks they are cheap and effective. I got the idea off yellowbullet

I would just put the fitting on the bottom without baffles. The tanks that I have had before and my current tank have no baffles.

I would like to have all the space I can for methanol so I would.like to either re do the baffle or remove it I was just worried if the level got low I wouldn't be able to keep the fees line full and not let any air into the system but I guess I need a low level sensor or better maybe a sending unit and a gauge in my pod the plan was to at some.point add a nice fuel cell and use my stock tank as a methanol/water tank but I don't think I will.be able to keep it mixed right
