as you can see it needed doing been like it for four years .
worked well though , but the floor was starting to show signs of wear
put in a new floor had to paint both sides with proteca kote.
And then started to build in the frame for the new tank

And then the hevens opened
(http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj186/zwizard1/utf-8BSU1HMDAxMzQtMjAxMDEwMDEtMTMzNi5qcGc.jpg)
It rained all day on and off had to set up a tarp over the van and garage , still by the end of the day the tank was in .
Then came the boxing off and painting of the rest before fitting the hose reels and battery / and di / and pump still might need to make a few small ajustments before i fit the genorator and vac stuff but pleased with it so far

where did you get the hose reels from
-
Hi Doc
I was debating about putting some lagging around the tank , but decided that if its that cold then the hose pipes will freeze and in the end didn't, i have managed the last four years
where did you get the hose reels from
Bought the hose reels over four years ago they are made by sealy can't remeber how much but should last a life time
just now need to find a way of fitting some sort of exhaust to the genny so as the fumes are vented out of the van any ideas ???
-
The hose reels look quite similar to the 460 Hose reel sold by Gardiners
http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/Professional_Hose_Reels.html
-
Yep them be the ones !!! ;D
-
Where's the generator going ???
-
behind the hose reel on the right
Looking to get one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLARKE-GENERATOR-13HP-PETROL-5-5kVA-ELECTRIC-START-/200359004900?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Tools_Generators_ET&hash=item2ea653cae4

-
I think your nuts. ;D
-
why ?
-

-
Those Generators are friggin heavy, really heavy. I suppose if there are two of you you might get it out. What holds the tank down?
-
not getting the genny out mate leaving it in the van bolted in !
the tank has four steel strap across it through the van floor unlike the ibc i used to have it just ratchet straped in
-
I see, I thought it was held in with wooden batons! ;D

Chopsie
I was using a IBC tank but only using 600ltrs a day two of us
The new tank is a 600 ltr , most days we would come back with about 100 to 150 ltrs still in the tank so i have still got a little room for a little extra work if needed

Matt
id love to know that to - i have a blue protectakote set in my gargae and i havent used it yet.
