in the processs of equiping a berlingo van do the water tanks need a frame & bolting down or can you just strap them  & if its an upright tank can it be just strapped - its hard work all this oh for ladders & a push bike

I have a 650 flat, It's strapped down with 1.5+ tonne rated straps and wedged between my arches. It hasn't moved since installed and Insurance are aware.

Out of interest what are the straps secured to?

[rah]

the van has 4 floor hooks. I don't think it did, I never ran without informing them.

that sounds good cheers mate

My tank is bolted to floor, but when I worked  self employed for another bloke, his tanks were ratchet strapped - I'm sure he told me that if you bolt it it's modifying and also then comes under scrutiny on the  M.O.T ??
That could just be bullsh*it tho

My tank is bolted and mot people did not mention it

I have 650 upright, strapped. its up against the bulkhead, I wouldn't strap it otherwise. would prefer it bolted, but its classed as modification then too. that's in a vw caddy.
