8 to 10 inches of vacuum should be enough to allow that flat long tank. I should put a gauge on one of mine, and measure how much vacuum it takes to collapse it.

Take a 50 gal drum & put about 10 gal of water in it. Dont put the bung in! Put it on a fire & get the water boiling real good. Pull it out of the fire & put the bung in. Turn the garden hose on it & cool it down. It will end up as flat as a pancake.
