tell them to jump. WHEN WE DONT WANT A JOB WHAT DO WE DO OVERPRICE.

[cockney rebel]

I told them to stick it up there poo chute.

[Steve Weatherley]

can you recommend anywhere else that would do a quality job for less??

[Steve Weatherley]

Hey cockney that wasn't a very nice thing to tell them  They may be glad not to have you as a customer

[dazmond]

what about your local garage?if youve got the tank and frame get them to do it maybe?be a lot cheaper i bet!

[Steve Weatherley]

please

[cockney rebel]

They have just called me back this afternoon. Said they can now do it for £800......still way over the top. Gonna have a chat with a mate of mine who does cars up. I'm sure he will do the same job as Purefreedom and all for a few mucky beers.

[dazmond]

i had a chat with the guy at the local garage and he said he"ll fit my tank for £150 when i get it!happy days!

Blimey
Is the frame  REAL GOLD or something

[JamesTurnbull]

i thought pure freedom was meant to be cheap lol!

I think it shows a few on here do not know the work that goes into making a tank frame up, the fitting is easy part normally.

Design a frame then buy the metal get fabricator to make it up, hope it fits the tank, have it powder coated then get the bolts and fit it.

Let us all know the cost.

I know if I had to do it again I would be using a company as it is a ball ache both times, I have had 2 tank frames made up, one for flat 650L tank, the other for 2x 250 upright tanks, also have a purefreedom system fitted

Try www.plasticwatertanks.co.uk

They will build and fit a custom made tank of a higher quality for less than Pure Freedom

Their prices are so competitive theyve gone down the pan.

You mean they have gone out of business?

[gewindows]

I do, have you taken a look at their latest web-page?

[dd]

No, sorry to hear that.

Water Fed Pole System in Grantham who I used for my van fit 4 years ago have just stopped trading. They fitted a 10mm polypropeline tank and system for reaonable price (to me). Tuckerpole and Facelift would have been about 2k more for the same thing.

Seems there are some good companies disappearing.

Just spoken to Plastic Water Tanks Direct and they are very much STILL IN BUSINESS.

Guy was telling me about a custom tank he has just made to incorporate and hold a gas bottle for a hot system.

To ammend earlier comment, they do not actually fit the tanks though.

[gewindows]

Are they just not having a website then? I need to speak to a tank manufacturer soon.

I think you are missing the point. The tank is £200, but they charge £800 for the fitting. That's a ripoff.

Atleast that's how I read it.
