Metal is better. It wont melt if heater controls fail. plastic will, and lead to a meltdown further fueling flames.

it depends on the capacity you are looking for. there are prefabbed cones for 25-55 gallon drums. you can have a weld shop make you a cone tank, buy the size cone tank you want($$$)or use a waterheater sized to your needs

If you live near Memphis, I could hook you up on a metal tank.

Big Grin And if you had your location in your profile, we all would know who is the closest to help you.

Propane tanks are strong and sealable. They have to be re-tested every 10years. The local re-test centre will have tanks either free or at scrap metal prices. I aquired one recently perfect condition except for a dent on the shoulder. They have a concave bottom for easy draining.
