I’ll update when I get the one o just ordered to replace a sun damaged one. I believe, from everything I’ve been able to find, that it should work.

If anyone wants my old plastic tanks they can have them for free. Just send someone to pick them up, I don't want them anymore. Or maybe you guys know of a place that will box them up and ship them for you. If you want them you can have them.

They fit fine… I don’t like the caps though, as they swell…. I’ll have to figure out a hack on the caps to let them vent and make the epa mad.

Ah yes. When I got mine I believe I searched around a bit and found someone online describing where they drilled a hole in the cap to allow it to vent when turned. I vaguely remember doing that, but I *think* I ended up just switching caps with my original ones which were made to allow venting. Either that or I did a really good job because they work fine and I can open and close the venting when I want. :D

They do sell manual vent caps for them on Amazon though if needed
