If the tank works for you in one of it's two positions, then you will not have to change any fittings.
The router has a special adapter, that holds the poly fittings. Then, spinning the fitting over a pre-drilled hole of the correct size into the poly at high speed melts it into the tank without the use of any glue or sealant.

If you need the fitting locations changed you should be able to get that done at a local RV repair shop. I don't know what they charge but the last time I had it done it was $20 with no receipt .

The price is certainly decent if you can accommodate that size/shape of tank.

I just received one from the same guy this week and was very impressed with the quality. Good thick walls, quick shipping (and can't beat the price) and very versitile setup with inlet and multiple outlets.
