It does, John

I've made my tanks that way recently - not tested for leaks yet, though...



Graham Kirby lead the way (I referred to his web site a zillion times):

I suggest you be very methodic about it.

Read all you can on RV web sites, there is good info out there.

Also, don't forget the RV archives (Matronics lists).

And when you see certain advices repeated over and over, you know it is good advice.



Here are some pictures I took during the process: 

http://www3.sympatico.ca/c.sa/tank.html



First I installed all the fittings (one at a time, baby steps).

Then, the baffle, back and bottom flanges(one work session), followed by the sides (another work

session).

And then close it, in yet another work session.

Repeat for the other tank.

I did lots of planning, went through each step a number of times before actually doing it.

It did work quite well.

Regarding smell: Proseal smells bad (rotten eggs), but the most annoying smell was produced by

laquer thinner, while cleaning up.

I had a window open with a fan blowing *out*.

Good luck

 Thanks Frank will tell Vans and the flange washer idea sounds good I already

 bought the aluminum fittings from aircraft spruce. I order the quart of

 proseal (They have new stuff on vans replaces proseal calls flamemaster) I

 will get a few smaller 6oz jars to do the fittings first. I believe this

 will work!

Is ProSeal compatible with automobile fuel?
