Hi Rich, Etch prime and clean the internals for a few days, Put the Por 15 in, make up a blank for the take up flange, bung the ends of the vent pipes, put in the drain plug and rotate the tanks, every which way, I figured attaching to a 'childs swing' would work best, gives the kids something to do aswell!.

remove cap and blank, vent bungs, and drain plug allow excess to drain, overnight is best, keep blowing through the vent lines, avoid 'puddling' in the tank, so keep checking on it.

clean up the filler cap before the por drys.

I figured getting them galvanised, would be costly and weather you could do this due to the soldered joints, can anyone comment?.

rich, you coming to war and peace?.

kevin.
