Anyone know where I can find info on building fuel tanks by soldering sheet
stainless or tin? I have been looking online for construction tips to build
tanks but have come up empty so far. Thanks

Soldering tin plate was quite common for control line planes before
plastic. Use brass tube for connections and test for leaks. Stainless
is really toughto solder:(

Check with the model airplane control line crowd. They've been making their
own from brass sheet for many, many years.
