Another option, if you haven't already cut metal, is to rivet them.
It's not difficult (it can even be done with 'pop' rivets) & then seal
the tank with 'pro-seal' type fuel sealant (multiple brands available),
or slosh the tank with some of John's tractor slosh.

If this option interests you, I can give you some more info on how to do
it. For me, at least, it's *much* easier than trying to weld aluminum

Very well done how-to site! His process can be simplified even further
(most of the tank can be built 'dry', then then 'buttered' with
proseal), & that's why I like riveted aluminum construction so much.
