I've scoured the archives and done a search of the web (thanks Google) looking for replacement fresh water tanks for my 1984 E35-3. They are starting to rust through around the welds. Aparently this is a common occurrence when SS is welded. In any case, I've looked at the Ronco Plastics site and found several tanks that may serve (B145, B171, B452, B489, B490, B500, B501). There is a place in Florida that does custom tanks but those run about $600 each. That's why I'm looking for a rigid plastic solution (I don't want flexible tanks, too many issues with them).
I was hoping someone here had the size/model for a Ronco tank. In the meantime, I have several questions.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone replaced their port and starboard fresh water tanks with a Ronco Plastics tank?
2) If so, what tank (model number) did you use?
3) If you did not use plastic, what did you use? Stainless? Who made it and what was the cost?
4) Any 'gotchas' to watch out for?
While I have the tanks out, I'mpainting the area under the tanks with 'Bilgekote' or a one part urathane.
BTW, I removed the bow tank to make room for Air Conditioning so if someone needs a bow water tank let me know.
Thanks in advance.
