## Introduction

After two years in operation we have a wish list for some improvements and repairs that could be made to the Gayflower. These would have to be done in Empire, NV in the spring.

The main green fresh water pump has a few little drips. There is a second leak on the thin brass fitting where water goes off to the swamp cooler.

</td><td style="height: 65px;">**Replace IBC Totes With New**  
The four IBC totes in the back were used for fruit juice concentrate and cause the water to smell poorly. One of the three IBC totes in the front (the rearmost one) has a broken shutoff valve.

We haven't been able to use the second urinal because the waste line leaks.

The one we noticed was probably the rearmost, passenger-side grey water holding tank.

Weld in place a steel structure to support the weight of the water tanks in back

There is an interesting problem that if the grey or black water tanks leak or the hoses connecting them come apart, the contents go onto the playa.  
  
There is a black liner there of some sort but it will not contain anything.

One option to consider -- not sure how easy this is -- is using a EPDM pond liner and constructing a full "bathtub" around the base of the tank area.

</td><td style="height: 80.2px;">**Level Indicators for Waste Water Tanks**  
Apparently there are already sensors connected to the grey and black water tanks to measure the level, but they are not hooked up to anything that can be used to read their output.
