How to get under Bus without air?

[eagle19952]

     Wow, it must have been cold -- that's already the dead of winter by about three months!  

12 kw generator and 50 amp 220v electric furnace ran 24/7 which powers a 2000 watt coolant/block heater too.

Steel melts about 1370°c.

It sure does. My mistake, it is not the base metal that heats to the temperatures I listed, it is the arc. The metal only heats up to around 3000° C

Bus is done and fixed. New tank...had a leaky tire valve replaced too.

Sorry double post. Tapatalk fragged.

Those tanks must be fairly thin when new.

I have no idea why it rusted a hole in the top, but here’s to hoping I never have to deal with it again. Probably the worst thing I have worked on between both of my buses...

Glad you got it, Scott! It is amazing that it failed while parked in a place where you had resources rather than on a mountain pass during your last big loop out west!

Are those the only mounting tabs, or are there two more? If there are only those two, it looks like a half-assed mounting system to me. If more than those two tabs, then nevermind.

[Scott & Heather]

There are four. Two on top and two on bottom.

That tank is a royal pain to remove,they seem to always rust at the brackets on the top from holding water on top of the bracket I guess.I always spray the new tank with under coating spray from Napa 

[chessie4905]

He should coat the new one with spray cosmoline since it is already installed.

He may have got lucky and the replacement tank is powered coated.I never got that lucky
