Exterior Oil Tank Base

[joshhudm]

Ok so i was going to take this on this weekend, any suggestions on jacking the tank up. And one problem is i have auto delivery of my oil and they came yesterday. So now i have a full tank so im not sure if that will be too heavy. Can i use a standard car jack and like a 2x4?

I jacked my tank up with a hydraulic scissors jack with a block of wood under the tank. If I used the jack alone, it would bend up the lip of the weldment. A standard car jack is made to jack up a car. Has a hook of some type that fits into a slot at a lifting point on the car frame. Go buy a small bottle jack at walmart and use the block of wood between the jack post and the tank.
