I had a hanger break that held the valve for my grey tank and it drug on the ground and broke. Since the tank doesn't have any pressure I would think I could fix it but I am not exactly sure how I would do this. I have attached pictures, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well this looks like the same thing that happened the Sooner we had a few years ago. We tried a couple of things to patch it up and nothing worked with the virbration. Ended up buying a new tank. Most RV repair shops can order them if they do not keep them in stock. If you can do the work yourself, ebay also carrys tanks like this, just make sure you get the correct measurments.

Thanks for the reply. I do think a replacement may be the best and probably not that difficult to do. If I drop the tank what should I expect to find. I would assume that the sink and the shower would both drain to the tank....how would they connect to the tank? Any other suprises I should expect or should it be fairly straight forward?

there should be a glued in fitting in the top of the tank. you should be able to disconnect above floor in the lav or sink base. if not you will need to cut the pipe, above floor, and replace with a coupler on reinstallation.
