The aluminum holding tank on my '93 Legend 43 is on it's last legs. I am looking at options to repair or replace the tank. I started with the Ronco catalog; after looking in detail at all 100 pages, I can't find a tank that really meets my needs and wants.The existing tank is a really odd shape. It actually looks like it was pieced together to exactly fit the space, and welded together. Capacity is supposed to be 40 gallons. Essentially, it fits around a number of angles and protrusions in the space available, to maximize tank capacity. It is located in the pan area, under the saloon sole.From the Ronstan catalog, i can't find anything that appears to fit, that is over about 20-25 gallons. This would be a big come down from 40 gallons for a 43 footer with two heads.I was wondering if it would be feasible to encapsulate the old tank... perhaps using epoxy and fiberglass cloth. There is adequate room to do a substantial buildup on the outside of the tank, say 1/4 inch. I think I could have new fittings welded or epoxied into the tank as well.I'm not really trying to save money here, just maximize tank size within the available space. Neither Hunter nor the original tank manufacturer are able to come up with the construction drawings, so having a new tank built is logistically difficult.Any suggestions?
