Hi everyone

Nice set up shawn, how is your tank fixed to your van?

Also easyclean, where is your waste outlet going on ur merlin unit? and where did you get the hose reels from??? are they any good?

Thanks

Andrew

easyclean

i noticed your tranny do you have any rust problems on the outside as your paintwork looks good and it would be terrible to get a few rust spots which i personally associate with trannys well at least the ones ive looked at .
and do you have any reliability problems

HI Again Shawn

Do yourself a favour mate, save some pennys up and get the tank fitted properly. I would not like to hear you have had an accident and the tank has shot off. Don't forget mate, the weight of the tank increases the faster you go in the van. Keep the speed down.

that is excellent advice from 24-7 .

i never spotted it myself .there is some eagle eyes on here.

hope everyone takes note of his advice.

« **Reply #18 on:** August 30, 2005, 09:07:36 pm »

where can i get that done mate, oh and cheers for your help today.

Hi Again Shawn,

No problem about the help, anytime.

You should see if you have a local metal fabricator (iron monger/ welder). Ask them how much to have a support frame made. You will probably need it to go around the tank (because I don’t know if the cage on the tank will handle an impact?), or at least through the bottom of the caging.

It will need bolted down in all four corners. Under the chassis, they should fit large square sheets of metal for the bolts to go through.

I am rubbish at explaining and if I could do metal work I would make them, lol.

I will draw you some pics tonight and email them tomorrow for you. The main thing is, for them to have a minimum of a ten ton breaking capacity.

The easiest way, would be to ask Ionics if they would sell you their straps for the tanks, but I have a feeling they would say NO.

Hi,

I have just fitted my wfp at the weekend and the big worry was saftey if the unfortunate should happen (crash).
I got supplied with the tank (300l upright) 2 steel bars which are bolted to the floor and 10 fixing for the bars. Also 2 2.5 tone straps. I was not statisfied with this so i had a metal bulkhead put in so the tank could go up against it. Fitted extra steel bars round the frount of the tank so it couldn't move back and forth if the flooring ripped up and finally made the bulkhead into almost a roll cage.
So i feel safe now the tank won't kill me just the idoit who caused it.
I will post some pics.
Rob..

Have to agree about a bulk head, if you have to stop all of the sudden, you dont wont your tools in the back on your head

or every your tank.

Did you know the Reach and Wash is Trade Marked by Ionics, and is only allowed to be used with there products. I would remove or change it before you get a letter or something.

Looks ok thou.

Good Luck

Hi Shawn
Nice setup. I rem when you were first getting your bits together, I think you bought part the system frokm ebay didnt you for 800.00, and theres me thinking it was going to be a trolley system.
Take the advice of 24-7, could you imagine have all the heavy water slamming into you in an accident. It just dont bear thinking about.
