Hi Allan,

I remember this discussion from several years ago.  A method that was 
discussed was to put the tank on top of a deep hole in the 
ground.  My memory says the hole had to be 10 or 15 feet 
deep.  Putting the tank as much in the ground as possible helped.  I 
have no personal experience with this method, but it seems ingenious.
