It will probably work out cheaper, and will do just as good a job.
But more importantly you will probably have a better understanding of how it all works if you fit it yourself.
Then you will have a better chance of fault finding and fixing if something goes wrong.

Trouble is if you have a big tank in the back of your bakkie then there is no space left for the workers. ;D ;D ;D

Hi Slumpy

I didn't want to call them 'boys' or anything else for that matter.

Reminds me of the white Oke that employed two boys on a job. He gave one the name Bobbe and the other Jaan. And if he wanted them both he called them bobbejaan.
