finaly got round to posting picture of my diy van mount.
aquired barrels ;D
uesd parts off my trolley system
had hose and reel for some time in the garage.
plumbing parts cost 38 quid works great!!!!!!!!!!
-
for £38 thats brilliant :o
-
use dto be able to ge tload sof those blue drums in my last job. we use dto call a guy up to take em off site for feck all we had that many.
easily hold 200-250ltr between those 2 drums
-
isnt it just ;D can hold 240 litres at the moment but i am going to add a third barrel in the next few weeks.
also thinking about turning it into a two man operation in the future.
-
What would happen in a crash?
I'm not trying to put a dampener on your achievement,.. but the restraints I see on those barrels seem minimal. a 20mph collision would prob be plenty enough to send them flying at the back of your (and your passengers) heads, probably killing you both!
I'm not suggesting spending thousands on a brand name crash tested system,.. just pop down your local engineering place and get them to weld up a cage for them and bolt it to the chassis.
As it stands, I'd not hesitate to use the word "deathtrap"!
I don't mean to sound harsh, but WFP is about reducing risks not replacing them!
-
NO OFFENCE MATE BUT THAT IS A DEATHTRAP,DON'T SAY YOU HAV'NT BEEN WARNED!
RIDICULAS >:(
-
I'm afraid I have to add my concerns to the above. Any sort of accident will probably result in driver and/or passenger fatalities. Your insurance company won't be too pleased either ::)
-
Are those belts screwed to plywood? Surely not. :o
-
OMG get a tank fitted properly asap and save a life please
-
i have a loft tank in mine have for 7 years its what the guy brought who i bought the system
off its a big tank about 300 lts but i have it fastend prop lots of rope needed thats all
-
This a shocking is this for real. 250ltr tanks are 70-80 quid secondhand surely things aint that bad.
-
lots of rope needed thats all
Are you MAD??? Rope????
Lets forget you said rope,... what are you tying it to????
-
I also don`t want to put a dampner on it but if the weather goes back to the way it was last week all that lot would freeze to billyooo especially those clear braided hoses.
-
All you need now is an L5 heater in the back lol,don`t want to buy 1 do you. ;D ;D

you still need to cage in the tanks and attach to the chassis.

throw in your refillable thingmajiggy and he's off!! :P
-

-

cowboys or in this case rope ;D
-
You still not sold that L5 NWH?
-
You still not sold that L5 NWH?
No still for sale if anyone wants it,£100 + postage.
-
LOL,... maybe its your sales pitch,.. less talk of explosions and you might get rid of it! A buddy of mine asked me to sell one for him (He decided not to get into window cleaning after all),.. It was mentioned on 1 forum and sold in less than 3 hours!! ;)
-
Back to the tank cage,.. get some metal and a welder, (once you can make a good weld!) and make your own. ANYTHING is better than nothing. Mine cost me €120 ish and 2 days of hard work,.. but I know I'm safe!
This pic is of it being installed,.. just in case you notice that the (high tensile) bolts aren't tightened in the pic!
