Anyone had a plastic holding tank fabricated lately? I was quoted $1,200 for a tank that might hold 15 gallons. Ye gods...who tried to hold you up for that price??? Ronco Plastics makes top quality thick walled rotomolded polyethylene tanks for a very reasonable price and has more than 400 shapes and sizes, over 100 of which are non-rectangular...and they install fittings in the sizes and locations specified by the customer when they make the tank. Ronco does NOT fabricate custom tanks, however...they don't make welded tanks, only the rotomolded tanks for they have molds...and the cost of making a mold for a one-off would be prohibitive. If they don't have a mold that suits you, there are two companies who do make custom welded tanks for a reasonable price: http://www.seafabtanks.com/ http://www.triplemplastics.net/ They both use polypropylene instead of PE, which is fine for water or waste holding. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://shop.sailboatowners.com/books...ku=90&cat=1304 |
