Post by: dan hughes on April 03, 2011, 06:36:05 pm

 ;D

Anyone have amy photos of tank plaement in trafic / vivaro.

New van arriving tomorrow TRAFIC 05, 27dci (100)

I've got the choice of 650ltr or 350ltr.

if I plonk it smack bang behind bulkhead is there anything underneath floor that prevents putting holes in for securing frame/straps.

ANY PHOTOS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

Thanks

That would be appreciated. I need to also fit a pressure washer and three reels somewhere!
could you secure a couple of reels on top of tank in the rear!?

thanks!

ive got one reel by the side door and another on the tank at the rear, i reckon my 13hp loncin pressure washer would fit behind the hose reel via side door

Just slightly off topic.... If you have a choice of a 350 or a 650lt tank definately go for a 650. I use 400lt on average everyday so therefore 350 wont last a full days work.

most window days I probably use bout 500 - 600 litres a day . sometimes only 300. depends on the day / round. very soft water here so i just keep topping up or connecting to amy svailable tap .

Pressure washer is run from same tank so that is connevted to water supply and left to fill.

650 is a lot of weight to lug around I'm being tight thinking of mpg !!

I had a Trafic a few years ago with an Ionics 650ltr tank and they fitted it about 18" from the bulkhead, similar to Steves

worry about the little things like MPG and you will do yourself out of the bigger money available mate., fuel is a bi-product of you making money nothing more  ;)

 hi
 i have a 650 upright behind the seats this gives you 6x4 at the back so still quite a usable space for other work

 cheers
