Just removed fresh water tank need suggestions

Jerry, Thanks just what I needed. I will have to roll around under trailer and see if I can find the bolts and other attachment points.

One thing you did fine with the plywood you used over the Russian Baltic Birch. It is great for a lot of things due to the high number of plys and usually good quality plys. I have heard contrary things. All plywood these days use exterior glue but I would not bet on it. The Baltic Birch is designed, I believe, for interior applications. It probably wood of been ok but exterior fir with the preserver you put on was a good choice.

My understanding is Inca plastics still makes the tank. Home

I will be ordering one very soon. Will be taking the plywood out today. My plan is two 4" eye bolts into the edge, which seems sound, and put a rod or bike lock cable, I have, through it and use the truck like you did or the come a long.

I found Inca Plastics to be very helpful.

Loose inside the tank I found the fitting below which I assume went to the supply/drain outlet and acted as a trap for dirt and sediment. I would like to know if anyone reading this has the expertise to tell me if I need to fix it back in place. I assume that as long as I am using a good filter between the tank and pump I don't need to, but I would like to know for sure before reassembling everything. Below are some closeup photos.

That part was used so that you could receive more water from the bottom of the tank, when the oval end faced downward.

This next photo is the information embossed in the plastic by the manufacture. It says INCA T1237 168 600-276. Also in black marker is the later M and the number 13777. I understand that INCA is probably not making this tank and there is only one source for new tank at somewhere between $400 and $600. Supposedly these tanks are difficult to have a lasting repair. However, someone has repaired my tank in the past (see black patch center rear on top of tank) and I so far have had no leaks from the tank.

What size is the "bottom supply outlet/drain outlet"? I just got through refitting my overlander with pex and the only things left to do are connect the fresh water tank fill inlet and that outlet.
