It all worked out well - got a new fresh water tank coming from Inca Plastics to replace the one that failed. $300 for a new 50 gal tank, shipped.
FWIW, the 2 fresh tanks aren't supported well enough by the 3 straps. You need to install supports (I used unistrut) lengthwise or the tanks will fold/buckle when they are full. I don't tow with full tanks except for the last few miles into whatever motocross track I am hitting, but that's all it took to fold the rear tank and crack it. Took 5 years to fail.
