From Lou Steplock
We removed the fuel (4) and holding (1) tanks in the shop in Olympia. It took 2.5 guys (I was the 0.5) about 12 man hours total to get them out. We removed the glassed-in supports for the mid shaft bearing, and after that, the last fuel tank came out easily. Then we trucked the tanks up to Bellingham to Coastline Equipment, who duplicated the four fuel tanks and one holding tank. The tanks were made of aluminum for fuel, stainless for the holding company. They were prepped with S76 and painted with TuffStuff. I'm going to try to keep all of existing fuel copper lines and fittings. The holding tank is under the forward part of the bunk and all the vent and waste hoses will be replaced.
