Just bought a 85 Lancer PS, does anyone still use the 6 gallon holding tank, or put in
a new tank of what size, and where?
Any help would be appreciated.

....had the moulded in tank under the aft berth, but it had to be reworked. It had been leaking out of the top. However, it still stunk. It may have been the hoses tho. I don't know the permeability of fiberglass, but would be inclined to get a size that would fit the opening, cut the rest away and use the replacement. Certainly all the hose is ready to be replaced too. Good luck!

Thanks Rick,

Yea, it has a aluminum top with 50 something stainless screws I had to
drill out to get to clean the tank. Problem is, it's only 6 gallons and is
a 4 ft crevice area. I'd like to abandon the tank area and I'm leaning toward a sealand tank, and putting it aft
behind the head. I'll need a wedge shaped tank, all new plumbing.
Had a safety inspection by the coast guard and of course if failed because the
tank was disconnected. Wish the previous owner would have let me know.
