2X6 to suport a live floor? sounds under code to me and I wouldn't put anything up there. you can sister 2X12's to them or install a metal beem to suport the tank, or use jack posts but that eats up carage space.

What about two teleposts on the sides of the garage so you can still park inside, and a metal I-beam spanning the distance? (Apologies if this was already suggested, I only just saw the last 2-3 posts here..)

Not sure what teleposts are. Adding more 2x6 studs to the that exterior wall shouldn't be a problem. Do you think strengthening that wall alone will increase the overall load capacity, or would I have to upgrade surrounding walls as well. The opposing wall is 24 ft away, don't think it would help much? Thoughts?
