As usual came home plugged me water in, went in the house,
Opened a beer put me feet up.. Great
Finish beers goes the shop for bread, when I opened the door to my complete horror
There water flowing out of the back doors of my van ???
Runs in the house turn the water of and ran back to the van
When I opened the doors the hose had come of and was just filling my van up!!! :'(
I look in the front of my van and there is water out if both doors foot wells are full and I mean full! 10-12 inches....
And do you no whe worst part???
2600 newly printed leaflets in passenger foot well :'( :o :'( :'( :'( :'(
And hour and a half spent mopping out
Gutted

-
cant stop wetting me self with laugther ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Ah man! You not wrong!
The main problem I've got is there's loads still under the floor!
When I stand in the foot well it like a sponge with all the water under the floor :'(
My nice new van as well
Why didn't it happen in my old banger????
Gutted.
-
nasty. you got plastic liners in footwells? I had similar, except I over judged water pressure at a friends, and tank overflowed. sucked it all out of footwells no problem with carpet shampooer, but took weeks for it to dry under plastic lining. and that was in summer!
even with humidifier couldn't get it dry. should have done a Clarkson and shot a hole though the footwell! or a 6 inch nail :o
-
Yes as plastic liner in foot well
My Poor poor connect :'(
I'll have to take it all out or drill some holes
Havnt got a shot gun any more. I lent it to a godie fella called raoul

Can any one recommend any top notch connectors????
This will not happen again ...
-
geka connections are meant to be good.. i'm just waiting to get some.
-
Were did you order the from please lhill?
-
we have changed over to claber connectors. they are the best I have ever used, no drips or poping off at all.
-
at least your floor is clean now mate... ;D ;D ;D
-
sorry to hear that nightmare esp this time of year... I need to change way we fill up are tanks as have had same prob in the past kangoo foot wells were 6" deep once! Sound proofing takes an age to dry...
best way i have seen is to have fixed con at tank end pipe thro floor connect up outside under van ... maybe i will sort it out over winter ;D

Thanks for sympathy and reply gents
Still feeling sorry for my self (and my van)
Water sloshing round all day! Mopped out every time I stopped
Think it's timeto invest in some top notch connectors
Thank you for the links gents :0)

Schoolboy error Colin! ;D
One reason why you should always fit a water-stop connector on the fill hose! ;)

No one likes a smart arse :P
