I think someone else here reported a similar experience a few years 
ago. It's actually pretty rare, but it DOES add another reason to 
keep those water drain lines clear, and another reason why its 
probably best to pull those lines out to clean them rather than just 
run a wire down them.

I think any FI tank from 70-73 will be the same. I have a couple of 
good tanks here, but you ought to be able to find one closer to you 
in Florida or Georgia.
