I got this free tank i have no clue how much it holds but my guess is 10 gallons. I ask my wife how many times she could poop in this tank before it is full and she said 2. LOL. Not sure that means she dumps a big load or the tank is too small. LOL. The flange measures 11" x44". Tank says 400 and is tapered about 8" wide and 4" tapers to about 7". Best place for the tank is right behind the tire. I can build a wooden 2x4 frame for the tank to set in then hang the frame from the floor with with threaded rods but not sure this is the correct thing to do?

When full, it will be 80+ pounds, and will effect tongue weight and towing.

Gary, that appears to be a truck camper tank. Not too big, so should work OK. At least one of the wide tank flanges should be hung on a metal part of the frame. Sometimes, it's possible to get two flanges hung. Straps go underneath for support. Hope this helps.
