Structural damage. I have had experience of a vehicle in this category. Visually it looked perfect but the reality is that it was nothing but trouble!! Wheel alignment and electrical issues being the most problematic.
Be very careful!!

I'm the same, best thing Grippatank has done for me when fitting the system. Give Oliver a call at Grippatank but he is very busy so may need to wait a month or two.

Grippatank cut into the return fuel lines on my van and they had to be replaced they couldn’t or wouldn’t fit a standpipe into the tank never did get a reason why , I got the standpipe fitted by a local Wabasto specialist, I think dazmond had similar with them they cut into a fuel line and either the heater or the van wouldn’t start ?

It was the heater only running with the engine running, a lot of modern vans dont return pipes only have fuel in when the engine is running , fitting a standpipe in the tank is pretty straightforwrd for a mechanic though .

I did WFP out of my car years ago. One thing I would recommend is for anyone going down this route take a DI vessel out with you. I used to ask customers if I could use their outside tap (of course) and fill a barrel whilst cleaning their house.

Where are you going in Canada?

Our lad lives on Vancouver Island so we default to Victoria, then in-laws in Kelowna. It's all a scouting operation for The Great Escape....

Just passed through YVR this morning on our way to Cuba. Kelowna on the flight schedule.
