No I don't have a 3D file or the tank. I mocked up the internal shape of the tank
using plywood and mouldings from the inside of the tank using modeling clay
which I was able to do once I had cut the access hole in the tank top, this I
did on a new tank from Europa but id could be done in situ. I then used the mouldings
(front, back and saddle area) to weld up the bladder which I could do
by leaving a tank top seal unwelded to get the formers out. That just left one
straight seam to weld which I could do over a former that was retrieved through
the access hole after welding.
