Not sure what's going on up here but I could work 7 days a week. Hard to get anyone to do manual labour work. On new estate yesterday and another 8 homes have new residents so I posted a card if they want a quote. Guy came out right away and told me he had been looking for weeks for a window cleaner. So did it there and then and now have 2 on the new estate being built. Must be picking up a new customer every week now so don't have the time I used to, too come on here. Just been volunteered to paint all the hand rails at my bit because no one wants to do it.

I watched an episode of Minder where Arthur retires. He ended up being bored senseless and just got in the way. Don't think I could every retire after working all my life. After 6 years window cleaning I think its the best job I have ever had, okay its boring but financially nothing comes close as long as one has the equipment. 😉

This is one of the reasons I don't bother coming on here much anymore. Absolute waffle.

Yeah, i never expected people to just generally chit chat about the job on here. I always thought it would be peer reviewed studies, leaflet drop data and hard facts. But as its not... don't let the door catch your arse on the way out.

The way tanks have been "fitted" in vans for years is a complete joke. Some bolts and spreader plates through a ribbed floor ? All to hold a cage that will stop a plastic water tank exploding. I love the old Ionics videos showing crash tests of flimsy, thin water tanks in IBC's doing exactly what anyone would expect them to do.

I predict modern van/tank systems will become modular. Floor plates to attatch to existing anchor points in van, adjustable anchoring points for tank frames. A lot of this stuff is already partly in existence for other trades and uses.

Now that its a big expense to drop a battery (to fit a tank) you can bet it won't take long for someone to do the math and come up with a much better way.

Grippatank do.

Have a look on their website under vehicle packages. They do a 400l system in an eberlingo

Just phone around a few other companies such as Ionics or anyone else that appeals

Have a look at the ‘going electric’ a few posts down. Loads of chat on there about tanks and fitting…
Yes I've read all that but I'm not going to attempt to fit the tank myself . I was asking about companies that fit tanks or systems in Ev vans ? That's what I'm not finding to much info on .
Thanks

Doubt there is any, but you may be able to work around the battty. For example the e transit custom battery doesn’t extend that far back on the van, so you can easily bolt down a tank towards the rear.

All I’m going to do is ratchet strap a tank down when I get my e transit custom. I’m gonna get a smaller tank and just except that I can’t drill into the floor.

Take it you are Ltd ? i pay myself monthly from my company account, but im on PAYE.

If you are self employed, you have no wage so why would you need to put wage as a reference ? it makes no sense
