Progress on Tanks

Just a quick post regarding the progress on the tanks. It has been so hot that really wipes you out to do any work. With the paper suit  and the respirator on your body temp get up to fever levels and you feel really weak.

Anyway all the baffles are in on the starboard tank. Here is a view of the three tanks

             You can see the baffles in the port, starboard and lower center tanks. So all that lost space that was collecting dust where you could not get to it is now water tanks.

 To the left is a shot of the upper center tank with the baffle in. I still need to drill hole in the baffles to allow water to flow through. I think that 30% of total baffle area is recommended for the openings. There is also an opening at the lowest point of each baffle to allow for complete draining of the tank.








Next week I get started on the tops. I also plan to fill the tanks with water to check for leaks before I install the tops.
