yep thats right mike its wrapped round twice though!!i will be getting a bulkhead next week.i can get a solid steel one for £180.ill get a mate to fit it for me.

Dazmond, it does not matter if you wrap it round 50 times it is still only one strap mate

Not so ... get a piece of wood and tie it to another piece with some string - pull it apart with a strong tug. Now wrap the string round four times and tug. Won't break.

Well done, Brooksy?
Your steak, I mean.

Yes I must agree with the above comments, I went to my local HUNGRY HORSE establishment last night and DAZMONDS steak and chips looks far superior to what i had. Can i book a table for 2 next saturday Daz?

The ratchet strap is only fixed in two places as it is. If there were three straps it would be fixed in 6 places.


Daz you have to bonkers to drive that tank around like that mate. You could probably be prosecuted for driving with an unsafe load.

When you put pics like that up showing your tank you know your going to get fired at.

he wont get done until he lost the load/tank,then they would ask questions,

[AuRavelling79]

By wrapping it round he makes it stronger - there is less pull on the ratchets (usually the weakest point).

Try it - get two bits of wood and wrap four winds around them together - you don't even need to secure the ends. 

So if he has a metal frame bolted through the floor and secured underneath the van cross members and the webbing is wrapped around it several times then it is stronger by the number of times the tank and frame are wrapped..

you lot really worry too much!!

the tank is strapped down tight!its solid!doesnt budge one bit!!

if i had a head on smash id probably be a goner but most of us would be a goner anyway without a tank in the back!!

i trundle along very slowly when i have a  full tank  in the morning.work is reasonably local(most within a 6 mile area).

anyway ive just bought a ford cougar (2.5 v6 24 valve engine)and its very fast!!im more likely to kill myself in this!!

I LOVE IT!!FREEDOM AT LAST!!just use the van for work now!!

IM WELL HAPPY!!

its heavy on petrol but i dont care I LOVE DRIVING IT!!
