Title: Tank outlets.
Post by: Gordon_Taylor on October 21, 2007, 10:55:17 am

Morning all,

Just a quick question, I've noticed on some of the pictures that people have posted that some people have there tank outlets coming from the top of the tank rather than the bottom, just wanted to know if this makes any difference to the running of your systems, if so what difference and what fitting do you use as I assume you need a internal hose in side the tank.

Cheers.

Gordon.

If you have your outlet on the bottom of your tank it then means that if you are really low in the tank, you can place your vehicle at a specific angle to ensure that the tank outlet is always covered with water.
If your outlet is from the top, unless you have a fixed rod or similar going down to the bottom, you will not have that benefit.
As a footnote:- (Only if you have pure water in your tank)
If the outlet is on the bottom of the tank and providing you have a side opening door, you can, at the door, make a join on the pipe from the tank leading to the pump. When you then open that joint you will then have a gravity fed supply to feed your backpack
