I have not found the right size tank for combo grey/black and am considering just making one. Probably cost the same by the time I'm finished, but It will fit the space that I have to work with. Would like to hear pros, cons of someone that's been there, done that.
Thanks

Look at Gumpydog's site for construction with plastic via hot air welding. I picked up a Lister hot air welder with a speed tip on the auction site real reasonable.

Hey Bruce,

Go to articles of interest on the Busnut home page. George Meyers talks about it in detail.

Bruce,
I made mine out of 3/8" polypropylene according to
http://www.gumpydog.com/bus/MC9_WIP/Plumbing/Holding_Tank_Fabrication/holding_tank_fabrica tion.htm
I used a temperature controlled heat gun and a soldering iron for tack welding. The results are very nice & fit just where I wanted them.

I also used the tried and tested Gumpy method, and I used one of those cheap ebay auction plastic welders that was only 28 dollars, but I did buy the fancy speed tip that was 80 bucks, but it was worth its weight in gold..........Pat
