Well there you go, you live & learn, I wasn't aware they ever had a 16 gall tank.

Twin 16 gallons on my Betsy build. Was thinking about putting a 16 gallon station wagon tank in at the back too but couldn't find one. Not wanted now.

If you had gently heated them they would have fallen off as they are a shrink fit.

Finally got the tub on
