Pictures of my Van
« on: May 31, 2008, 02:11:09 pm »
Some pictures of my van, needs a battery tray still, and wires tucked a way, also I'm going to get a pipe bender, and get some hooks to hang my pole on, with some rubber sleeves on them. Now I just have to put it under the sun visor, and on top of the tank cage.

Tank was installed by Crystal pure's mobile fitting service, they do Purefreedom systems as well, but are further to the south, they came to me, and installed the tank cage, I installed the rest.

looks DIY and highly unsafe if you ask me

Also, the tank looks too far forward.  Although you might be under the total payload weight, the load must be eveny distributed.

What I mean is, say your payload weight was 800kg, each axle must only bear 400kg.  Otherwise its against the law bro.

From those pics, its pretty obvious that thing is gonna make one of your axles over the limit.

Thats besides the fact that fitting a tank that shape upright is just dangerous.

The tank is right in the middle of the Van, Load is evenly distributed. Purefreedom fits those tanks upright no problem at all. When it's bolted properly through the van it's fine.

I notice the van isn't paneled or sealed (floor)!
Wont it get hot in summer and cold in winter and bring all the problems that go with the temperatures?
And what about the water situation, with the floor not being sealed it will find the lowest point of the van (recipe for rust!)!

Have you used this system before?  :-\

is that the 300g system  :-\
Tank looks to big/tall  :-\

please tell me how much they charged you for this!



The van floor is sealed with protecta coat, it's just got a rubber mat in it. I'm using the system now yes. Don't think panelling would make that much of a difference in temps, it's the gaps in the door seals etc that let cold in.

In winter I'll have a little electric greenhouse heater in there. :)

It is the 300GPD from Purefreedom, funnily, at 100PSI pressure after prefilters, it fills the tank quite quick. :)

Just noticed that the pics don't always load, I think that site is a bit slow, I'll try and get them hosted elsewhere. :)

Thanks LWC. :)

Hi, the strainer is before the pump. :)

Because I simply didn't want them to install everything else, I wanted to do it myself, so I could get the experience, and set it up like I want it. I had to solve a couple of problems, which is cool, because I can help others now as well, and if I ever would get a similar problem, I'm already half way into solving it myself. :)

the reason i put it so bluntly was because i cant stand it how people say things like "looks DIY and highly unsafe if you ask me", "Tank looks to big/tall , please tell me how much they charged you for this!" , hes obviously very pleased with his system or he would not have posted pics on it, only in the first 2 posts to get completely ripped! thats what i was standing up for, not because of your advice! ... if there was any

As a newbie, I'm not sure if I should be jumping into this debate!

DIY versus Manufactured does seem to cause some hot debate (which is a good thing in my book). At the end of the day, this is just a debate is it not? We all respect each other and want to impart our knowledge and wisdom for the benefit of all :)

I have all the respect in world for guys that can DIY a system and understand totally guys who go down the Manufactured route for the obvious time-saving/warranty issues.

....but you cant ignore the several thousand pounds saving with DIY can you?

My system, like the van above (his Baby... wants to shoe it off!)  8)

Thankfully Each to their own!  ;D

Bisexual actually.

Who cares whether you've fouled up your van with manky protectacote gunk.
Unless you're going to use it for 8 or 10 years it isn't going to rust that quick.
You'll just stuff up the re-sale value, that's why I haven't done it.

Great looking system though mate.
They're just jealous. ;)

looks good and professional, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong......some people like to moan, the more they moan , the less freinds they have, and the less freinds they have , the more they moan......and the final product is a person who can,t intergrate with society....ie. a loner ;D
