I am considering taking my dremel and cutting that proud rim back to be flush with the floor of the tank. And do the same to the threaded hub that I have to put into it. (I also plan to use rectorseal 5 on the threads) I realize that the tank bottom is sloped toward the drain, but with that lip, there will always be a reasonable amount of residual liquid (and other stuff) in the bottom of the tank.
Anyone else that has done this mod find that to be an issue? Or am I overthinking it? I suppose that at the end of a trip I can do a real solid rinse, but with the top down, I can't get into it at the dump station to do a "power wash" from the inside.

I'm in the process of putting this in. I had the same question about that lip. Has anybody ground that lip off so it will drain completely?
