r1lark Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I'll guess the thickest material -- 18 gauge, since it was located inside the body itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark63Avanti Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I live in Massachusetts and above ground home heating oil tanks are 12 gauge steel by code. If the answer is not 18 gauge I've got to go with 20. Can't be 25 or 30, just can't be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And our Avantis are only twenty-one cars apart!..They probably waved to each other on production line!) Edited January 20, 2022 by mfg Too many exclamation marks!
