I'm sure he did and I feel bad about ribbing him, sorry again Chris.
Just what does mil mean like on the thickness of a trash bag?
How many thousands in a mil?

The boxes of plastic sheeting I use at work state that they are 3 mil
(.003") thick poly plastic.
1 mil equals .001"

Thanks Brant
I guess I missed that in machine shop class, I also missed gage haveing to
do with sheet metal.
I'm sure it's in my machinist handbook somewhereif I could find that.

And 1 millimeter equals .039", so 2 mil plate at .078" is probably overkill.
Per Dana Overall's wing tank construction article,
http://www.krnet.org/wingtank/ he used .032" 20
e tank were made of aluminium
plate instead of sheet metal, I would think there would be far less chance
of leakage, but anyway, its all horses for courses.
