Re: Good morning daily
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

Re: Good morning daily
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.jon_d wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 12:59 pm https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale- ... tting.html?

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

Re: Good morning daily
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.supersparky wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 1:50 pm Bernie, you might have to remove the other bit from the tank and get a new whole fitting that's the same thread size.
