Why remove what may be structural adhered and a PIA to put back together. Clean it up, wiring, hoses and all, in place and put the (presumably aluminium) tank on one of those square plastic tiles that snap together (West Marine sells them) to avoid rusting. Can you access the additional drain location underneath? If so T into existing. Why the Y valve? Both should always be open

As you can see from this photo<https://photos.app.goo.gl/7LQhVgmXeFWVjSE7A>, there is evidence of a fair amount of corrosion to both the terminal block that supplies the solenoid as well as rust stains on the bottom. I started exploring separating the well from the flange and after cutting away a fair amount of sealant and removing all screws, it will not budge. My intent is to run a new hose from my stove directly into the locker, add a second drain hole because standing water accumulates on the aft side, and replace the existing drain fitting with a new hose & Y valve. Ideally, I do not want to damage the flange to remove this. Any suggestions on how to break the bond between this flange and well?
