Don't forget to put a loop in the vent line that goes above the vent, to keep water from getting to the tank.

I noticed I can barely get over 16 gallons in each saddle tanks till it starts leaking. I like MJs Idea.

Sorta related question. Is there any real need for the check valve in the pickup tubes? One's missing. I dunno whether to replace it ot remover the other one. Any tho'ts?

I got rid of mine years ago!! Some of these side tanks were 18 and some 20, that might explain why you get only 16 gal?
