MCI8 toilet tank size???

[Oregonconversion]

Anyone know how many gallons the stock tank is in the original bathroom?

Thanks

Not big enough!    The real problem with the factory bathrooms is that they are generally right where most people want to put their bedroom.

I know this.... but I need to know how big it is.

L x W x H in inches divided 231 = gallons  Which 8 did you buy #1 or #2 ? Any pics yet?  Thanks Tom Y

I am buying #2 because it appears to be in much better shape. I am getting it for 9K

Ahhh - the first challenge is coming - how to get the #$%$^% thing out without dismantling the whole bus.

Really? no one knows?

I think you will find that most people just rip them out. While they are grinding, sawing, hammering, chisling and cleaning up all the spilled blood from the removal process they are not measuring the tank. I have not removed mine yet but I know it is some sort of metal and really doesn't appear in the best shape.

FWIW-a bus on Ebay was listed as having the stock waste tank in it even though he had converted it (?) He stated it at 17 gallons, but for the life of me, I don't recall which model MC it was. Sorry, Will

Just get a saw-saw, a hammer, large screwdriver, bigger hammer, plasma cutter, small torch, a 6 pack of beer and have at it.


Good luck,

Bill

Hang tight, Oregon. Just as soon as BK hits this thread I'm sure he'll have an answer for you. If anyone knows what it takes to fill a holding tank on a bus, it has to be him LOL. No offense intended, but I believe from reading his posts he drives these things for a living. Will

OK thanks guys.


BTW I do plan on ripping it out as soon as my black tank/john is in.

I Think it took a bit more than a 6 Pack.

Yeah.  A 6-pack won't get past the planning stage.   I'd think at least a couple of cases of good stuff. 
I'd suggest completing this op during cold weather. 
Ya'll forgot the most important tool.   An industrial sized air-chisel.  Better than a sawzall.  A good air-chisel will cut thru that ^^$(%^  stainless liner too.   Use muffs or you'll go deaf.  I'm almost deaf...has its benefits...psuedo-deafness allows ignoring anyone you wish without offending. 
One other important item...a good respirator.  You're gonna need it. 
If the fiberglass don't git ya, the dried poo will!   
Is there any better reason to buy an ex-NJT (NJTs didn't have restrooms)? 
May want to check for water in your outhouse.  If you get hard freezes where you live, you'll want to winterize it if you wish to use it later. 
Plasma cutters are wonderful things...but not near fiberglass...
Good luck, JR

I didn't have anything fancy when I removed mine. I did make good use of 4 inch grinder with cut off blade. Like I said in a different post I should have bought stock in the cut off wheel industry as I have used a whole #%@* load of them when I did my dismantle. I worked every weekend last winter doing something. I had good freezing weather for bathroom removal and suggest this is a very good time of the year to do it! I will not comment on how many six packs it took as my wife may read this.
