I replaced the 40 year old bladder pump on the coach ! Had a hard time removing the still working unit Hm? but was tired of the low flow and the noise.

Installed a surflow 2088 and wanted a pressure tank for it. The surflow tank is tiny and cost about 50.00 I went to lowes and bought a 2 gal tank for 40.00. its 8" x 12"   doesn't matter hose its mounted vertical or horizontal. I used fuel hose as straps to hold it in place laying down. worked well.

I can now run the sink for about 15 sec before the pump will run, that's  turning the water on 3/4. The pump is much quieter.
I think I will display this old pump with the tiny timing belt in the shop waiting room :) I have an old Allen dist machine in there, its pretty kewl and works !
