I think we could double that weight to know what a custom tank would weigh made from heavier gage sheet metal (plus a 6 pound bladder)......just so Priya would have a weight reference.

(I recently had my tank out, but didn't pay attention to the weight....seems as though I carried it with one hand/no problem)
