So since it wasn't in the GMC. Great time to test it for leaks. And a good cleaning. So I dump beach in to disinfect. As I fill it in the drive. The sides just keep moving out farther, and farther, and farther, and farther. I'm thinking that this just can't be good. But it's outside, on the drive. Many be I'll end up having my drive disinfected. The farther thing just continued. It's a very tale tank. Turned the water off, as it was FULL. WOW. It's just sitting there all by itself. No leaks, or signs of cracking. YET. Best keep the dog, and myself away for safety. 2 hours later. The drive is dry. All is well. This just can't be right. So I went in the shop to look at the panels that were on each side of the tank. There was about 1 inch between the tank, and panels. No signs of contact. But it certainly had to be close. So now I'm at four hours. All is still well. So I'm putting aluminum angles on two sides. That will put me back into my comfort zone. So my advice is to not do what I did. It just might move you out of your COMFORT ZONE.Bob Dunahugh78 Royale Mouse House
