Title: -5 / -6 when to fill tank ?
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on December 20, 2009, 02:39:26 pm: Checked the bbc and its given out -5 / -6 where I am for the next few days.

I'm working till wednesday. Is it best to fill up the tank the evening before ? Not filling it to the brim though.

I've removed everything else and stored it away in the garage. Will just connect it up before I leave each morning. So not worried about pipes being frozen in the mornings

I have 10 barrels of water they are solid :o

the idea for me is that the delivery pipe might have thawed out by then

It's a nightmare situation, trad with screenwash if possible.

I'm backed up with work but the current & forcast weather is doing me no favours at all both trad or wfp!!!!!! :'( :'( :'(
