Began work on the installation of the gray tanks.

---------------------------------------------------

I began work on the installation of the largest of the three tanks today.  This is an 18 gallon tank.  It will take up the entire bay with little room to spare.

1.5" angles are welded to 2" x 10.75" flats.  These will support the tank.

The tank supports are tacked to the crossmembers.  There will be four sets of supports for this tank.  The remaining two will be added after the other two tanks are installed and plumbed.

Temporary angle iron straps are clamped to the supports.  The final straps will be 2" flat that will bolted to the supports with stainless hardware.

The tank is dropped in place to check for fit.
