    Great I will do that when i get the guts to drill the tank. I am just thinking a lot about every option before I put the holes in.

    Good idea. Lots of planning is key. It's easier to make holes than fill them in ;D

    Gaskets

    I always put all gaskets on the water side.then use cement on the non water side "i use PVC cement, (primer"purple"+cement"blue") it does melt plastic/PVC/etc."

    Yeah, you def dont want to over torque the nut on the tank when its full of water. And dont use visegrips. I know now after I had the entire head of tank water come flowing out of my 265. I still kick myself.
