Twenty-five gallons at a 28 lb ship weight: the Ronco Plastics B171 is built to be the easy decision in a mid-size fresh water refit. The capacity supports genuine multi-day use, the molding drops into place without rigging or a helper, and the FDA-compliant polyethylene means the water aboard tastes like the water that went in. Ronco has molded tanks like this in Tustin, California since 1974, and the longevity of the line is its own testimonial.
The B171 arrives with fittings installed per order - spin-welded or threaded, positioned to your marks - which converts installation from fabrication into assembly. Decide where the deck fill drops, where the vent breathes, and where the pump draws; print the drawing below and mark those points on the dimensioned outline; then run the fitting planner on this page to finalize sizes and locations. The tank shows up ready for hose clamps.
At capacity it holds about 208 lb of water, so the shelf and straps should be sized for a small passenger, not a small package. Once secured, polyethylene asks nothing further - no coatings, no inspection anxiety.
