My 1990 28’s aluminum holding tank gave out, leaking from the bottom. To stop the leak I cut a 2” hole in the top of the tank and poured in 15 lbs of scented kitty litter. This did the job.
I read the other forums regarding this and found that cutting a hole in the “stateroom” bulkhead gives the access needed to remove the old. This worked well also, but was surprised at the amount of fiberglass I cut through along the bottom [top of the battery box].
I went about trying to find a tank. After reading the posts, it looked like “off the self” was not going to cut it because they were smaller, so I called Ronco and spoke to Scott. His tips on tank installation were great and THEY MADE A CUSTOM tank for me. I sent them the factory specs and they made a mold and built it.
Here is the best part, the cost was less than the “off the self” tank would have been.
Anyone out there have any tips before I install and close up?
I will be installing it soon and will post my results.
