I know some members have drilled tanks and I was wondering can tempered glass be drilled?

Safely and reliably...no. I would not drill tempered glass.

Thanks Richard. I figured you would be the pearson to give me the straight answer.

While you can drill tempered and sometimes it will not shatter as you punch through, it will shatter as soon as any pressure is placed on it. Though most times it will shatter as soon as you cut through. Tempered tanks with holes were drilled prior to being tempered.

Thanks Dave. A tank that you can't put water in. It would be cheaper to operate.
