Holding tank

[Lollygag1]

After spending a week put on the hook. I asked the admiral if we need to replace a fuel tank w a holding tank. Seems as we get older we tend to fill the latter one more often. ?

Why not look to add another holding tank connected to the original? Mind you, I know nothing about your set up. Why disrupt the fuel capacity,that ain’t the problem.

I was kidding. As we get older the priorities change. Have considered a larger holding tank but 125g fuel tank conversion would give us a couple of weeks between pump outs

My grandmother (born 1890) used to tell us not to waste water flushing the toilet all the time. "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown wash it down". We usually do this for middle of the night use of the head, so the vacuflush pump doesn't wake everyone else up.

Maybe switching to one of those electric toilets might help?

If the fuel tank is metal, it's a bad choice for waste holding 'cuz urine is so corrosive it'll turn any metal holding tank into a colander in a few years.



If you're serious about replacing your holding tank with a larger one, Ronco Plastics Ronco Plastics marine Tanks is your best source for a tank. They make TOP quality thick-walled (50% thicker than most other mfrs) water and waste tanks for a very reasonable price and have more than 400 shapes and sizes, over 100 of which are non-rectangular, and they install fittings--including diptubes--in the sizes and locations specified by the customer when they make the tank. There are retailers who sell Ronco tanks, but Ronco sells direct for a much lower price...and they're great to work with.

When looking at drawings it's important to know that there is no top or bottom until the fittings go in, and YOU decide where they go. So rotate, flip in any orientation to find the tank that fit your space.

It is amazing how many aluminum holding tanks there are out there. And the manufacturers tout how much better they are. Not!
