[C320-list] Third water tank

[David Hayes]

Hi Scott,

I have found some businesses that make to size locally so may explore that.  But, in researching, I have actually found that a cubic mm space of the Todd 20 gallon tank dimensions is in fact only 76 litres, not 95.  Still a good lot of additional water but not the 95 the original article stated.  Will let you know if I bother to proceed.
