Ran into a stainless steel hot water tank today. It was something along the lines of a boiler mate in the way it functions but had a stainless steel heating coil installed with the Scully flanges. The heating coil for the boiler mate mounts in like the flanged Extrol tank in the first pic.
That Stainless steel water tank my bet is someone would be interested in ownership, would make a good still for essential oils or ethanol.
Now that the snow has melted first time this year in the back yard, living in town I either have to dismantle my treasures in the back yard or inside the shop. Anyhow after a trip to the landfill this afternoon came home with a load of microwaves.
In the back yard discovered I have another of the blue metal tanks, we use a fibre glass tank at the other house.
Yea replacing the whole tank is probably cheaper, the other day inquired on the price of a solenoid for my Jetta TDI diesel, $180.00 a new starter is $20.00 less expensive.
They don't want people fixing their own stuff anymore.
