Thanks. I guess I still can't see how this could have happened.

OK we fixed the water tank,and did a little mod to help hold it in.. what happened was the vent tube was plugged and when we filled the tank it expanded and "pushed" itself out of the channel iron that runs from frame rail to fram rail in the front and back of the tank.after we reinstalled the tank , i added galvanized plumbers strap that runs from the rear channel iron to the front channel in 3 places using self tapping screws , thus making a "cradle" to ad extra support when tank is full we have pictures but it says file size is to big and dont know how to make em smaller any help please

Windows usually comes with a program that you can use to open and then resize pictures. The older version of Windows, XP, has Paint. I'm not sure about the newer versions.

There is also a right click utility available for Windows XP that allows the user to pick one of sveral sizes to compress a jpeg photo file. It works really well. It is free on the Microsoft site in the Windows download section. I believe it is called a photo resize program. It pops up when you right click and select it when you are in the Windows photo viewer. You then save the resized picture under a new name or replace the original. It does the job without losing resolution like a lot of other programs do - incuding Paint. It was eliminated from SP 3 apparently, and now must be separately downloaded. I don't know if it works with Vista, 7, or 8.

Making a picture larger will always result in a loss of resolution - can't add data where there was none. Making one smaller won't loose resolution.

i think here are the photos on how i reinforced dads water tank. what happened was i put a regular hose in the filler neck with city water and with his vent pluggedthe tank expanded up and down enough to "pop"it out of its channels. i used ss plumbers strap, ss self tapping screws and ran 3 "straps" from front to rear so the tank cant "expand" and pop itself out again i hope thes pics download
