look at it as a jigsaw puzzle.

its not like much can go wrong in fitting it, whats the worst that can happen? you forget to secure a fitting and you get wet?

where in the country are you? some friendly chap may offer some assistance.

have a look at where the current system is bolted, most likely through the chassis rails...find the same location on the new one, and you should be in luck.

mine is an swb transit, can take pics of how its mounted underneath if you like?

Ask your local garages if they would be happy to fit vehicle tank for you, poss. £150.

Not many places do speedlining though, likely cost around £500 if that is what you want.

I agree. To fit a tank is a £150 to £200 job.I've just had a leisure battery wired up up in one of my vans and that was£60,i bought the battery though. Speedlining in my Traffic was £550 i  seem to remember. Basically, Protektacote the floor yourself and get a garage or you and a competent mate to fit the tank. Probably get out of it for £300ish.
