<DIV align=justify>To those of considering purchasing the holding tank -
something to remember: </DIV>
<DIV align=justify> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify>About four weeks ago I place a order with Kracao
for the model tank under discussion. Because I did not want the holes
for intake, vent, and discharge fittings in their standard locations, I
ordered it as "blank" tank (i.e no holes) and had the
fittings shipped for later installation. I made it very
clear to the person taking the order of my intend and the reasons for
ordering the blank. So last Wednesday when the tank arrives what do I
find, a 3/8" hole in the middle of the plane measuring 12.5" X 22" near the
edge adjacent to the 6" x 22" plane. </DIV>
<DIV align=justify> </DIV>
<DIV align=justify>It was only after I called Kraco this morning, that I
was told that <EM><STRONG>unless you specifically request otherwise, all
tanks are sent out with this hole in it</STRONG></EM>. This little known
fact was not divulged during the ordering process. So make sure that
whenever and whoever places the order(s) make sure to specify that this hole be
"spun welded" closed following the molding process. In my conversation with the
production manager (Dave), I was told that this hole is used
for venting purposes during the manufacturing process and later serves as
"guide" for locating the position of the 5/8" vent fitting on standard tanks
(sort of defeats the purpose of special ordering a blank tank for
custom installations doesn't it). </DIV>
