baffled water tank?
« on: January 17, 2010, 07:32:21 pm »
Fed up with wheeley bin and want a baffled water tank.The wheely is ok sizewise as i use custys water,it is just getting on my nerves having to wait for it to fill before each job then having to empty it at the end of each job to save flooding the van.With a tank i could keep it full after each job ready for the next one.
                                                                                       What size tank will be the best purchase?I don`t want to take too much room up in the van but want it big enough to not be getting sucked dry every 15 minutes.How many litres does a wheeley bin hold as this size fits my van nice.cheers Dan

Baffled tank definitely better. I have a Prochem set up with a long tank down one side, un-baffled, the water slams up and down it enough to knock the lids off sometimes. Watch your weight, though - 500l. of water weighs 500kg = 1100 lb, or half-a-ton! Don't want to run foul of VOSA or anything, plus if you have a prang overweight your insurance is stuffed....

Prob only drive with a little water in it as i will turn supply off near end of job,the wheeky bin is a pain as you can`t leave 6 inches in without driveing away and soaking the van,thanks dan
