I was going to lay it horizontally and tap a hole in the top and one at the bottom, so I can drain it better and control the elimination of the water better. I would have a valve arrangement where I could push the water out the bottom with HP air. And also when filling I could vent the air in the tank into the cabin.</div><div> </div><div>Brian</div></div>
