It looks like my poor planning skills have bested me in a spectacular fashion. I have ordered a set of 9.3 gallon kettles from Stout Tanks with the intent to use electric heating. The kettles have a 12.75" diameter. I had expected to use the Camco ultra-low density elements but hadn't realized that they're too big for a tank less than 15" in diameter. Even the low-density elements say they need a 13" diameter tank (though I suspect they might work). It looks like bending the elements without damaging them may not realistic.
What are my options?
