    Wow! So expensive.
    These tanks are expensive!
    Wouldn’t it be nice if each tank had a t valve before going in and out of each tank so that in case you blow a tank you can use an auxiliary tank and zip tie or strap externally until you order part....hmmm....

    But thanks so much for the information thus far!

    The vin stamped on frame near steering box is a life saver!!

    We had the original cab that was damaged saved...but someone hauled it off as scrap so I didn’t have the original vin.
    Did not know.

    Some tanks have internal check valves. They all have to pass a 500 PSI hydrostatic test form an accredited supplier.

    Find a machine shop near you it may be cheaper getting them made instead of factory tanks
