[alberg30] Re: waste holding tank

[George Dinwiddie]

There are a number of options on holding tanks.  One of the biggest
choices is the Kracor #5022 mounted under the port side of the v-berth. 
You do lose a drawer with this installation.  There was a description of
this tank in the Maintenance Manual.

As for the Atomic 4, you shouldn't smell any gas.  If you do, there's a
serious problem, more likely in the gas tank, hose or fuel pump than in
the engine, itself.  Or, it could just be blow-by gases from worn rings
that you're smelling.  I'd recommend joining the Atomic 4 list on
sailnet.com for more detailed recommendations, but, if I were you, I'd
repair the gas engine.  Others will oppose that advice.

I also recommend switching over to the new email list on alberg30.org,
as this one will eventually disappear.
