Agree, more tank space and I don't see why the 10 inch wheel has to be set at the end,,,could be positioned in more to avoid wasted space and reduce overall length,,,the top shelf length seems short,,,,cause once you have the cables and hose connected you may want to set the unit further back from the front...hoses and cables occupy space at the front of the machine...as a concept drawing it seems fine..

The locking castors are a PIA as you will soon find out,,,had some one one of my builds,,,they never stay locked or unlocked at the right time or one is locked and the other is free wheeling,,,,

More details...

As other folks are saying, I'm probably going to get a larger tank at some point. I was trying to future-proof it as much as possible. The top shelf is 19" wide - same width as the shelf drawer.

I was just trying to keep the weight forward of the rear wheels. Also, the 10" tires were so I can wheel it out in the back yard if I had something to work on that I couldn't get into my small garage.

The locking casters were relatively cheap (tractor supply) and will be bolted not welded to the frame.

The upper shelf will tilt up to offer more versatility to operate the knobs should I be at the bench or next to a vehicle on a roller stool.

Please keep the comments and ideas coming - I want it as tricked-out as possible and I've got the time. Son wants a drink holder on it now!

shifting the wheels in 6 inches will not hurt the balance it will improve it,,,,if you plan on moving it around the yard ,,,best to install some handles to make sort of a wheel barrow,,,cause them little castors only roll well on cement,,,they hang up on the slightest thing,,,,my genset has a similar wheel setup to your design,,,moves okay on cement,,but I have handles to make it ride on the big wheels only,,when I'm moving on grass or dirt..
