Good morning daily

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Regarding my grey tank, neither Atlas Tanks nor Melro Tanks can help, still waiting on a reply from DIY Caravans. I may have to do some more searching.

Look at the Atlas catalogue. They have round cornered diesel tanks.

Try a wrecker and get an ally fuel tank. Probably cheaper. or get a cheap caravan tank and make a new bracket. The old tank is sitting on a home made spacer anyway.

I use these in the bus. Modtank modular water storage. http://plumbingconnection.com.au/modtan ... r-storage/

Jon, the old one was attached to the chassis with original brackets as shown below.

As shown here, it has 60mm radius corners

None of the pictures show's if they have o rings Jon, the piece in the tank with male fitting is ok, just the outside piece.

Bernie, you might have to remove the other bit from the tank and get a new whole fitting that's the same thread size.

No they don't. FIne observation Bernie. Maybe you need a "bulkhead tank flange fitting with 2 O rings."

Not going there Dave, you have no idea what's involved I have just finished putting them in, and would have to take both out to get this one out....I can put stuff on it and that would be a fix...I was wondering if I could find the original and fix it properly.
