Wally,

Thanks for responding to this thread, I didn't realize that the tanks were as far forward as they are. I really like the self
adhesive floor tile idea.

I note you've used what appears to be 3/8' flareless fittings to connect the senders to what appears to be Poly Armour tubing, I
have Swagelok 3/8" flareless to 38 degree male stainless steel fittings. The flareless connection would connect to the sender
fittings and the flared connection to the Poly Armour tubing.

How did you connect the lines that go across the top of the tank to the lines that go up the side of the coach in the frame rails? I
plan on having some braided stainless steel flex hoses made up for that purpose.

Regards,

Not saying it

service?

We made floor access for in tank pumps. 1/8 aluminium plates recessed to floor level over a 6 inch hole. Self adhesive floor tile
over it. Marked hole
location while the tanks were out and I could see where the senders actually were by rub marks.
