Oct 16th

Here is a shot of the whole tank with all the supports in place. I have started repainting the new fiber glassed ones that went in last weekend. There are an equivalent set of new supports at the front of the tank also.

Part of the rebuilding work is to reinstall all the plumbing. There are eight fittings per tank. Drain, fill, return, two sight gauges, two vents and an extra cleanup valve that was plugged on the original setup. I am putting a valve into the cleanout this go around so I can tap the bottom of the tank to check for water as needed. These are all installed one weekend and then fuel is added a week later to allow all the sealant to dry.
