Wavery -

I failed to make my point. Your drawing shows a wedge indentation in the lower half of the tank, so that the tank will clear the wheel well liner. But the wheel well liner extends above the upper floor skin - you can see it, next to the wall near the rear corner of the sink cabinet. It looks like a raised flap of the vinyl flooring. Most owners are unaware of this, and those who do see it often refer to it disdainfully as “sloppy construction”. But if you lift that flap, you can see the wheel well liner poking through the floor. My concern was to be sure that the upper half of your new tank, including the square mounting tube on which you will set the tank, will clear this obstruction.
