2001 Black Tank Replacement

I Have a 2001 2955rl with a spit in the black tank that cannot be repaired. The company that made that tank is no longer in business. Any ideas on how to find a tank that will fit?

Thank you.
The problem is finding a tank with the proper dimensions to hang on the rails.

I wouldn’t be too concerned about an exact replacement. I believe those were a two piece design tank. They were not designed to hang on hangers even though thats how Keystone installed them. A much more durable tank would be rotomolded, one piece. Pull both tanks and redo the hangars and you’ll not have tank problems again.

I had my black tank replaced in 2016. The dealer said they couldn't find an exact replacement, but put in one with a slightly lower capacity. I don't boondock much so it works fine for me.

I just did one on my 2006 328RLS and I measured the existing tank and researched on www.icondirect.com to find the proper one. Contacted them and they did not have any in stock and would be 5 weeks for manufacturing. I then used their part numbers and found one that was 6 gallons smaller that fit right in on Amazon and had it in 2 days. Never go smaller on holding tanks unless you have to! Funny thing is I never noticed the smaller tank in my 06 because 2 weeks later we bought a 2015 3625RE and now I am selling a 2006 with a clean tank lol.
