I am not sure what the screws are supposed to be used for.
Has anyone installed one if these that would give some tips on using mine?

I think that the manufacturer is letting you know that any screws that are used to secure the tank (through a flange perhaps?) must smaller than the hole drilled in the tank. That would be to prevent what I would call point loading where the screw acts like a wedge and splits the tank.
That is my best guess....

Read my old thread on the rebuild of this trailer when I talked about the pan/tank. Someone has one in their trailer, and replied about it.

After reading those post on the pan Steve all I can really see is how to vent the tank. What I need to know is how do I secure the take to the pan.

Are you going to use the box I fabricated to go with it? It gave the support needed.

I will rebuild the box the same way you made it out of solid wood to prevent swelling and yes it supports very well. I am concerned about the tank not being real tight against the pan.
