Tank cover vs replacing tank
May possibly be running on a dented tank.
Cost at least $200-$300 to get a replacement tank. Cost, as I've heard, around $100 or so to get a nicely molded plastic tank cover that wraps around past the seams -- sportisi (or h/e it's pronounced has one) |

Just look on ebay or craigslist for a good tank, I recently got one in mint condition for 125 shipped. A tank cover would add extra bulk in my opinion.

Unfortunately there are multiple sharp dents and the paints chipped.
D: But I'm guessing you're showing me if I do get a modestly dented tank replacement. I s'pose I could consider this route. |
