Asked to see his sign written van on here, got a NO NO. always got a big story, never failed, gone wrong, always gets £100 per hour etc etc. Maybe it's just me ??? maybe i'm reading him wrong , but like i've always said if you've got it show it. We can all write what we want people to hear and add the B/S' who really knows who's on the other end of the key board?
get ya point now fella  ;)

Do it yourself:

Two lengths of heavy angle iron across the van bed and bolted down through the nearest convenient chassis members - two 10mm high tensile bolts per length.  Drill the upright web to accept the claws of a pair of 10ton ratchet straps - this overcomes the problem of not having suitable anchor points directly under the fitting points of a cage.

Tank goes between the two angle irons and ratchet straps go over, fore and aft arrangement.

ADVANTAGE:

1 - The tank is almost instantly removable, so isn't 'fitted' and doesn't affect your insurance, it's just a bit of cargo held by restraining straps.

2 - This system is so strong it will rip the chassis out of the van before it gives way.

Surely the plastic tank is not strong enough to withhold the load inside with just 2 straps? Im sure you'd need a cage to hold the tank in place to at least spread the load on the tank plastic, otherwise the plastic tank will just give way and burst?

However nice idea..

Interesting what insurers would say to that..

Might be better if it did burst?

would you stand in the way of half a tonne wave of water coming at you around 40mph? I sure wouldn't..LOL

Well it was only a joke, but there are now five vans. Obviously it's none of my business anyway.
