All this talk about leaking tanks caused mine to spring a leak on Friday....really. Wish the access on my 36 was as good as others seem to have. Espar furnace and refrigeration complicate things for me. Dennis, what tank do you recommend? Good website for fitting install in plastic? Or do the come ready to go? Bill Walker CnC 36 Penteater, Mi

Last time I pulled mine took less than an hour. I needed to get to the strut bolts. The concern is the elbow on the fill hose. If you damage it, replacement may be difficult. Gates makes an elbow that can be cut to fit but you may need a coupling or nipple to make it work. If your fill hose is original, I STRONGLY suggest you replace it. It is well past its useful life.

My tank was held in place by two galvanized steel straps, corrosion from which caused the leak. Hardest part was undoing the fill and vent connections, had to get to them through the panel at the aft end of the port quarter berth. As someone mentioned in a recent post, getting the fill hose back on was a pain. If I recall there's an elbow just off the tank connection, little bit of a struggle to make it tight. I used fabric straps to hold the new plastic tank down. My tank gauge has never worked so I just look through the wall of the tank to see the level. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
