Fresh Water Repair

[Rlum]

Has anyone created a supplemental tank support? What did you use? I did not know these PE tanks were not supposed to sag in middle?

My tank is supported by 3 straps about 3 inch in width. I am thinking about a 1/4 inch aluminum plate directly beneath the tank to support weight of water. Reposition same straps under the plate. Any ideas or suggestions? Looking to get rid of mid point sag.

Think about another strap running 90* to the other straps and attached to frame on both sides for support.

More interested in frame support.

Thanks

My tanks were built by a local welding shop specialized in stainless steel and aluminum welding. Both, the fresh and grey water tanks have welded attachment sleeves for stainless steel studs which are attached to the steel subframe. This is the welding shop – jdcross.com - Portland

Thanks. I have been looking into tanks and supports. I do not think ready to spend for a new tank yet. Want to explore less expensive options. Currently will just fill up at campgrounds. When departing, probably dump most/all of water in tank. No load and stress on tank when driving. Previously always had full tank going to campground so did not have to look for potable water. Usually left with 1/4 tank.

At least now no leak but better not to stress the 90 degree angles of the tank.
