Charlie,
Thanks for the info. As usual, you were able to add fact
to the exchange of opinions and guesses.
I can attest to the accuracy of your warning regarding cutting
the angled dump valve fitting. I cut mine off with a Sawzall (sp?) to get
the tank out of my '66 Safari. It was broken anyway from supporting the
weight of a broken tank and hardware. Now I'm engaged in "a serious
replumbing job" exactly as you said.
I couldn't locate a replacement for the original tank so
purchased a rectangular-shaped tank which fits but leaves no room under the
trunk compartment for the dump valve and plumbing. I am slowly working out
a home-made mount for the dump valve and y fitting behind the tank, inside
the bumper compartment and will reroute the gray water plumbing to
reach the y.
I bought the trailer right so can afford to invest some time,
labor, and frustration in it but it is not a simple task as you
know.
