[VACList] pressure water tank

["Scott Scheuermann" <s.l.scheuermann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, our annual Christmas break trip from Cleveland to Tampa and back went
almost without a hitch. The weather cooperated for the entire trip. However
while in Florida I took advantage of the warm weather to do some repairs and
discovered that the old galvanized fresh water tank has sprung a slow leak.
:-(  I guess that 42 years was its limit! I seem to remember that this topic
came up last year and that someone had found a source for these galvanized
cylindrical tanks. I will look up the specifics later, but my question is
has anyone actually purchased a tank from these people? If anyone has,
please share your experiences. From what I remember they were quite pricey,
but may be worth the cost for me since I would want to make major
modifications to the plumbing if I were to replace the pressure tank and air
pump with the modern standards. As much as I would like to make the
modifications I just don't see having the time to do this before needing to
be back on the road with her again.

Another, less costly option I am considering is to remove the old tank and
see if I could find someone to line it with the stuff they use for rusted
out automotive gasoline tanks. Does anyone know if the stuff is safe to use
for a drinking water tank?
