Fuselage Tank gage

[Bud K]

I plan on building my XL with a fuselage tank forward of the instrument panel.  I know that I am not the first to do so.  My question is, what thickness aluminum did you use for your tank?  I plan on a riveted construction with ProSeal sealant so no aluminum welding would be involved.
