Hi All just thinking what size tank to put in my van to have the option of a 2man set up,i have a 11 plate2.0 expert. In my caddy iv a 400lt flat tank but for the new one was thinking of putting my 650lt upright holding tank for 2 man set up or should i go bigger? and whats the best way to secure an upright tank?. thanks joe

What van you getting? I tend to prefer flat tanks as it is easier to put reels on top of them out of side doors.
-
Flats probably better for wfp.
I have an upright as I need to gravity feed a pw off it
-
Flat tank would be the safer option but would be more prone to airlocks plus because the water would be sitting on a greater
surface you wouldn't be able to let the water level/quantity drop as low as you could with an upright, for instance parked up on the pavement or a hill could mean that even though you still have plenty of water it may not be getting to the pump outlet without having to make more parking manoeuvres.

I have just removed a 800 flat from my toyota proace which had whale non return valves on to help with the airlocks ... would prob fit urs as same van ... ready to accept 2, power up reels and holds 4 di bottles ... will post some photos tomorrow

Flats. Are better just get 2 wedged pieces of timber and put them under the tank causing the water to gravitate towards the outlet.

I have a 500 litre upright tank fitted by The Cleaning Warehouse in my 11 plate Expert van. Haven't experienced any problems in the 18 months that I've had it!
