I removed the aluminum lid portion of the built-in nasty, old holding “tank” on my 42. I had to widen the fiberglass top that held the lid to install a plastic tank in the same space. Instead of using a sawzall, I got a controlled, clean cut through the fiberglass with an oscillating saw.

I removed mine by cutting it up in small pieces. I then found a tank (online) that I stuffed in from under the sink. In order to get a similar capacity (14 gallons), it had to stick out into the cabinet area under the sink, reducing storage capacity. The original tank is pretty small, and I lost another gallon with the HDPE replacement.

Without taking everything apart I'm looking at it saying but it looks like it might fit. Question to any owners: has anyone seen this done, can anyone say it will absolutely fit with making cuts, before I start taking things apart, I know it's been discussed on here before but I'm hoping to find a definitive yes or no, thanx guys.
