Can anyone tell me roughly how much an empty 90 gallon aluminum fuel tank would weigh?

Thanks-----Robert

I would bet 40-50 lbs? I'm picturing something about two 55gal drums in size?
Maybe I'm way off base cookoo

Size wise it's not much longer than a 55 gal drum, but it's fairly big around. There's one on a truck at the scrap metal yard and I can get it for a buck a pound, but I don't want to wrestle that thing off if it's going to cost me a fortune.
I picked up a steel 55 gal fuel tank yesterday and that thing weighed about 95 pounds, but it only cost me $20 along with some square tubing and some other stock.

Our 150's are about 6' long, maybe 6'6". I figured they weight 50~60 lbs. Seems like more, just trying to get a good hold on one.
