[A/S] Cracked tank



It's been a long day.  I built 4" ramps 48" long and backed the trailer
up on them.  Disconnected the plumbing and electrical to the tank
and removed the 14 screws that hold the galvanized steel pan to
the belly of the trailer.  After much prying and scraping the caulking
let go and I pulled the pan out from under the trailer.  The tank does
have a leak at the top edge.  Looks like a manufacturing flaw to me,
but on a 9 year old product who cares?

It doesn't look like a good place to patch.  Tomorrow I'll start calling
around for a replacement.

The adventure continues,
