Transit TR-UC-16 Undercarriage Water Tank Mounting instructions:
This is a quick installation of the tank with it mounted in the most forward position. You may choose to mount it in a slightly different position and adjustments to bolt locations will need to be made. Here is a picture for reference of the undercarriage looking rearward from the front of the van.
- Cut 4 bolts flush to body hanging into the cavity where the tank will sit. These are underneath the pinch weld of the body as shown in the picture.
- Bend muffler shroud towards muffler rounded down towards ground. This will allow better access to bolt locations and protect the water tank from the exhaust system.
- Remove front exhaust bolt for muffler hanger. There should be a side bolt as shown in the picture that will not be removed. This bolt will be used to support the front tank bracket (2) Hexagonal holes are to be enlarged with step bit to fit the rivnut.
- Holding the tank in place with a helper place the bracket onto the tank at these (3) mounting positions (For our tank location the straps were roughly 13.5”, 26” and 35.5” from front of tank) on the frame and mark each hole to be drilled out and rivnut installed.
- Once all the rivnuts are installed the tank can be mounted with the brackets and hardware supplied. Tighten all bolts once in place.
- Your tank is now ready for plumbing.

This tank is a must, everything to attach the tank was included with the tank, bolted under sliding door space. I was a bit worried about muffler being 3 inches away so i installed a thin metal sheet to protect the part that original heat shield from muffler doesn’t cover. 30 minutes install tops. Plumbing is located facing rear. Perfect for my install.

I chose the difficult path of mounting it a bit to the rear, and WITH the OEM running boards. I had to cut down one of the OEM running board brackets to the same level as the bolts they tell you to cut off, and I had to put a rivnut into a slightly different place in the rear. The rear of the tank, if you move it back like I did, sits next to a structural protrusion. I had to put my rivnut in that protrusion.
Not quite :30 minutes for me, more like 2 hours.
I recommend a 6″ or longer extension for your ratchet to get the upper bolts installed. It’s tight when the tank is in place.

Fit perfectly. My case was a little weird (factory running boards) but I made it work. Only quibble – I wish it was longer. There is more room down there ;-}
