G.M.,

We all enjoyed hearing from the fabled distaff side of your family.

I just finished installing a grey water tank in the '82 Westy. It was a
salvaged water tank from an earlier Westy 'loaf, holds around 25 liters.
I hung it in the spare tire position after removing all the unused
hardware there. Plumbed it up to the sink drain and added a vent line
and a valve to the regular drain hose. With the valve off, the grey
water detours to the tank. Opening the valve allows the tank to drain. I
used .75" ID hose, so no large solids are allowed down the drain. This
isn't as elegant as what you've envisioned, but it was cheap and easy,
and it's REAL WESTY equipment! Have you perused the offerings at a large
RV store? They usually have a variety of tanks that might be suitable.

suspension; anyone have a diesel Syncro fuel tank lying around?)

Oh, yeah, almost forgot.
