Lee whats the payload on your connect? its just i heard a transit 260 280,300 is only good for a 650L and i heard u got a 650 2 man in your connect.?
-
CANT IMAGINE A 650l tank in a connect!!i thought the payload of a lot of models was 800kg?
a 4OOL tank should fit in nicely with room for a trolley or backpack and trad gear plus isothermal heater.

now thats a sweet ride hope it got all the good stuff on board perfect tolls etc then heavy sound system, myself and its down to taste i would add some more pikey chrome the full kit, some may say its the pikey look but its not vans fully tricked out look cool tints the worx, its van styling , we do it to cars , but some dont standard family car look, not for me i like a ride, often thought down the pick ups pimped out fully pikey style, lol with little system in it, but there not fast enough for personal use, but they do look good so does the van above, but i will say rims need changing

I want a 4x4 van or landrover brand new, prefer a long wheel base 110 defender. and a hot system and a eastern European prostitute that will work for little money and do a days graft and a few extras ::) but it will not happen ;D

well there is at least hope on the eastern European then ;D
-
if you are trad i saw what could be a good windie wagon motor tother day- an old HILLMAN HUNTER estate car, low life image with a long roofline so easy to put ladders on . of course it would need a modern engine etc shoehorning into it but it would guarantee to rake in no end of oldies ready to splash the cash / home made "window cleaner" signs made of curling cardboard stuck in the back windows

You can get a decent 6 - 10 year old Defender for about £5000. It'll see out any van no probs(well a few minor probs maybe ;)).
There is a garage near you called Lix Toll. They get in ex-hydroboard Landrovers. Just the job :).
As for the prozzie, I'm afraid I can't help with that one ;D.

Do you think I could fit a hot system in here?

Form B,
who do you use for your insurance ? the reason I ask is I was thinking of getting a pick up for odd job and having a removalable wfp, when speaking with A plan, they said as soon as you mention wfp no insurance company would quote, and you use old range rovers dont you ?
-
who do you use for your insurance
I have fleet insurance through Aviva, it aint cheap! I have had a few claims in the last 3 years though.
I get all my insurance through a broker:
http://www.gilesinsurance.net/?gclid=CO-Dh7SJy6YCFUYQfAod2StKWw
or

you use old range rovers dont you ?
How very dare you!! >:(
They are Landrovers thank you very much. ;D

I thought £2000 a year was enough how many vans you got now ?
-
how many vans you got now ?
6 Landrovers, 2 Cars.
The reason it is so high are 5 claims in 3 years :( , 1 of which in excess of £20,000 >:( (whiplash ::)) and 1 driver under 25.
-

What tank do you intend to use? We have custom designed tanks that fit straight in the 'tub'
-
Yeah will have to be a custom Form to save the space.
You run 110's im sure... what tanks have you got in them ? and you got any piccys ? ;D
-
We actually use 6 125l tanks which bolt together, you may well be able fit 4 into a 90 (not 100% sure on that though). That would give you 500l without losing much space.
-
Your probably right there Form !
Not too sure how you have connected them up though as they look pretty well fitted in there.
The 90 has the same rear as a 110 12 seater, just without the middle row of seats. When you have chance, would you mind measuring up 4 of the 125L tanks please. I can measure up a 90 then and see if they will go in like yours.
If it fits, then it will save a shed load of space as i was thinking of a 500 upright towards the front in a T shape to go over the arches.
-

They measure 600mm in length each so you need 1.2m or 4ft, the one in the pic is the business end (fill up and fitting for pump) the others slot together with the connectors in the pic, no need to baffle!
-
Where do you get the tanks from Form B ? And how much we looking at £££ ?
-
What is the payload of the 110 and 90 or is the answer in the numbers
-
A90 is 20 inches shorter on the chassis than a 110 ,,, the numbers are inches.
-
Mine would be a
Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9TDCI
650L 2 man "delivery only" purefreedom system with their HEATER,
hooked up to a split relay.
2 x 18ft extels
1 x clean tech solution 62ft modular pole
1 x 35ft SLX
1 x 25ft SLX
approximately £15,000 for this set up.
-
Yeah 110 is the distance between front and back wheels in inches. My landy will carry 1.5 tonnes.
Ill have a look at the prices for the tanks tomorrow, not overly expensive though.

you think I would know that seeing as I drove them for 15 years ::) we just filled them till you couldn't fit anything in, no one ever stops the Army

Just to go with the pikey look, my van and travelling home.

Where's all your sign writing gone JR?? or are you really now a pikey? ??? ;D

To be sure it was b4 the van was done. I've got some Tarmac left from a special job and it would look well on your drive Terry.
-
tinka , that van would still look better sitting on some deep dish matt black split rims with stainless steel lip

I would want at least a good tree mill (3mm) of tarmac on top of my garden to be sure, top of the morning to ya! ;D

-
They are original sportline alloys, good for 3 tonne of van.
As to the Tarmac my warranty stands to when my back wheels have left ur drive. ;D

sorry ive got to disagree mine is absolute rubbish i really cant wait to get rid 20mpg ish i hate it its the worst van ever ideal size if you only do windows but crap drive plus with the tank in the back full of water it wheel spins in the wet easy so in the ice its dangerous i want a vivaro crew cab next
-
MWB low roof transit with twin side doors. Insulated & panelled out, blue protectakote.
Pure freedom 650 flat tank delivery system fitted behind the bulkhead.
Twin electric rewind reels above the tank. Auto layering mechanism and remote control so I can start it winding is as I walk back to the van.
Hot addon (Prob pure freedom) and a frost protection system
DI in the van for the rare occasions I run dry.
External filling port.
Backpack for awkward jobs.
A large bore outlet on the tank with a petrol pump type dispenser for quick filling of the backpack.
Split charger
Solar battery charger (for the times I'm not driving much)
Float valves etc so the tank can fill unattended
NOT A SINGLE HOZELOCK CONNECTOR IN SIGHT!! They just leak too much! John Guest or Rectus 19/26 fittings are all I will use.
Fixed reel system with fairleads in the van somehow.
SLX 22 and SLX 35
No roof rack, no towbar. smallest available triple extension ladder in the van for emergencies only.
Nicely designed pole storage
Everything accessible from the door,.. no climbing in to the van to reach controllers or gear.
Built in storage/shelving for trad gear, spare brushes, bits and bobs.
A spare pump, controller, hose clips, bits of pipe and any tools required to do minor repairs without going home.
A roof vent as condensation could be an issue with waterproofs etc drying in there.
The van would be split in 2,.. the sliding doors would access the wfp gear, but a shelving rack at the back of the tank would separate the back where the pressure washing gear etc would be stored.
Signwriting would be done with a lot more care & professionalism than my current van!
Bluetooth built into the radio is essential
Van tracker installed
Additional lights installed in the back of the van (nothing worse than trying to find something in the near dark)
The static setup at home would be 6 IBC's and a rainwater harvesting system, along with a pumped RO for any dry spells. Float valves etc would be used to stop overflowing & shut off RO when tanks are full. All water would be DI'd before the IBC's and a high power transfer pump would be installed that could fill my tank in 2 mins flat,.. again with auto shutoff when full.
Prob loads more,... I'll add to the list later.

wow thats some list nat 8) ;D

If you have a TDDi that might explain the poor mpg, the TDCi's are better on fuel.

Whats the smallest van you can fit a 650ltr upright tank into that will carry the weight be legal?
