[VAC] Re: Leaking galvanized water tank

[Herb Spies <spies@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your problem sounds like a repeat of what I had last year with my 63 
Globetrotter. Look at http://www.nwflorida.net/gt00005.htm to see what
 I did to fix the leaking tank. There's a pix of the old tank and the new 
plastic tank.   I used model 29W tank from All-Rite. It fit the same space 
as the round metal tank and is advertised as a 30 gallon tank.  You have to 
get somone locally to plastic weld ( RV dealer)  the new fittings after you 
decide exactly where you want the fittings.  I even was able to preserve the 
original brass filler in the original location.

I did find a source for the round metal tank but would have had what I 
thought was a harder problem in getting someone to weld in the new fittings. 
Look at your old tank and how Airstream installed the filler pipe.  Also the 
metal tank was >$500 while the All Rite tank was $316 including shipping 
and expedited handling.

I used a Shur Flo Whisper King Model 2093 water pump to replace the air 
pump.
