I checked my black tank by filling it all the way. Water came running out from the top of the tank. I assume I need a new tank. I guess I could try having it plastic welded. Were is the best place to purchase one. How hard is it to replace the tank.
I will run a dye over the threats and use a double nuts to holed against to break the bolts loose. Beyond that I have no idea what I am getting into.

I ordered a tank from Duane Simmons, Jim K probably has them as well. It fit perfectly. I also added a macerator at the same time I replaced it. I don't recall it as too difficult. You'll need to remove your toilet. In my case, because my GMC has been modified, I found it easiest to remove the floor in the bath to get at all the vents. That game me the opportunity to remove the collection of mouse nests I found there. I modified the inlet from the kitchen sink using ideas I found on the GMC site. I ended up having to saw through two of the bolts holding up the bottom braces, but I was able to use the remains and extend the bolts through the new bottom braces I had made since the old ones had pretty much rusted though. Now that I'm finished writing this out, I do recall it was a PITA.
