got 650 in my scudo and would like to go two person but worried about weight. Where are your reels? do you have two pumps? do you have two feeds from the tank or do you split?

Post by: blinky on March 21, 2009, 10:16:49 pm: did you do anything to the engine or just pour it stright into the tank????

Post by: jonisondell on March 21, 2009, 10:26:05 pm: no

your fuel pump must be a bosch,
you need to be slightly machaninal minded/elect
you need a 3 way valve
heat exchanger
few pipes
can be done for about a 100 quid
very easy and saves you a fortune. free motoring

how's that work, you must surely be over the legal weight limit with that?
even the new partner stops at 850kg and the old one is 600kg ???

Post by: jonisondell on March 22, 2009, 12:08:06 pm: there are two partner payloads 800 and 600kgs

Post by: ftp on March 23, 2009, 06:43:15 pm: Suds, that's an ibc tank, so what method have you used to fix it to the pallet and how is the pallet fixed in the van?
Title: Re: Partner owners
Post by: suds window service on March 23, 2009, 09:26:02 pm: got a local engineering firm to do it for me.....its well fixed two on each side bolted through floor. have,nt done a crash test though to prove it ,s safe ,as ive only the one van. but thanks for the concern
Title: Re: Partner owners
Post by: ftp on March 23, 2009, 10:29:06 pm: Just wondering how they did it, i had mine done in a local garage but i'm still looking to improve it (despatch) Mine is strapped but i think i'm going to beef up the lashing rings i've used. Mine's not on a pallet though so i'm interested to know what keeps the cage on.

Post by: ftp on March 24, 2009, 07:42:59 am: I've just noticed the reel on the back door - good idea hadn't thought of that.
Title: Re: Partner owners
Post by: suds window service on March 24, 2009, 03:04:45 pm: cage came already fastened on to the pallet. did have to take it off to get the pallet and tank in,then re fix .
its a very tight fit which i suppose is good.

bought it from b&q 50 metre...its got the mounting on to fit it to a wall but is also detachable so you can point it which way your working.
