πr2 x 100/1000......................3.14(3 x 3) = 28.126 x 100/1000 = 2.8 litres (2.8Kg)

Why would you be over your legal weight???

Surely the water in your hose came from your tank, and if your tank full of water isn't too heavy you're legal.

Makes sence to me anyway  ??? ???

after the first use the water would sit in in the hose. then when you refill the tank, you have the hose plus tank.
Look, I've had two months off, my mind wanders.

You better not carry too much loose change in your pocket then, or what about that flask of tea on the front seat!!! I shouldn't worry too much about the water in the hose if I was you me old mate!  ;D

And I'll tell you something else >:( >:(

In the current weather conditions with all the mud and stuff on the roads, you'd better keep your van clean - you don't want to be done for carrying a few kilos of mud around


 ;D ;D ;D ;D

so mini is 8m internal diameter (4m radius) yes?

3.14*4*4*100=5.024kg

Plus the hose and reel.

Mat, have you worked out the trigonometrical ratios with regards to being able to cover more glass per stoke, by standing further back and extending the hypotenuse.

I have Dai, yes! However, I can confirm that as most of us carry out our work outdoors the barometric pressure exerted on the outside of a hose filled with water under pressure renders the external spray non-distinguishable as atmospheric weather patterns are all too variable and unreliable.

Sorry....
