Black Water tank - 1984 FC35SB - hippieforever3 - 11-27-2009 10:52

ANY info on the BW tank would be appreciated.

P/N - equivalent, true dimensions (sans foam) , etc

It looks like I'm going to have to get one ordered and installed. Any leads on
the above will make my wait time shorter.

Regards,
GPSGary

I believe I found the BB P/N - 1122704

Can anyone help with any additional info useful in finding one or a reasonable
replacement?

Regards,

I chipped away some of the insulating foam looking for a part number and unless
I'm dreaming, the black water tank is METAL ???

Can someone confirm this or is it a metal pan around the real tank.

Can anyone that's seen the outlet fitting tell me what it's like.?

A previous owner has wrapped the pipe between the tank wall and the valve with
something like fiberglass (or glued blue jeans) and I'm really reluctant to cut
it off because if this sucker starts leaking really bad they will throw us out
of the park we're in and a motel with 3 dogs isn't a very viable option.

I was considering having the tank replaced but if it's not plastic and is metal
that is more repairable and someone totally different.

Regards,

One my '84 they are fiberglass tanks. I recently replaced the Dupree valve on my
grey tank. It was dicey but formed the new valve and a repair insert with a
dremmel and with the help of Bim Burt, glued every thing back in tight with no
leaks and painted black to match.

Ralph does it again. Fiberglass I can deal with.
