Black tank replacement June 28, 2021, 01:34:45 pm I had the front bracket on my 97 MB black tank come loose while I was driving dropping it to the ground and wearing a hole in the front of it. I called Todd at the mothership to get a new one but he told me they no longer carry them. The 97 is a different size to the new ones. He told me that the size is a 30-H. I tried finding on line using this number but don't seem to be able to find one.Just seeing if anyone has had any experience replacing the black tank on a 97 MB. Haven't been able to get under the rig to measure the old one yet as I am not at home for the next couple of days.
