Irrelevant of the effects of sloshing water my point is it is no more of a mod than 20 little 25l tanks is it

Too many of them will alter your handling too

I'm just looking for the tecnical clause which states that a load which is strapped in and under the payload limit is a modification which tecnically it isn't as nothing sbout the van has been physically modified

iv got about 5 days experience on the pole and im flying through my work. im not cutting corners for speed either. i saw a vid saying you should scrub the glass twice but to be sure i do it at least 4 or 5 times and rinse well but im still quicker.

5 days experience lol and you are happy with it. It is making me think my life could be a lot easier in the long run lol the only problem is the hassle of buying it all and fitting it

 

[Tuffers]

Underdog that's the problem you cannot do anything about it its basic science That's why most insurance companies wont insure vans with tanks fitted others are putting a 650lt limit as a few on this site have found out come renew time

Who on this site have had a limit of 650L put on them from their insurance company?

 

[peter rogers]

wAT sort of van u got and were abouts r u

 

[kev]

my tank is a 500litre flat and although the baffle keeps the sideways sway under control the forward backward when tank is half full is doing my head in. it feels like a car full of passengers lunging forward and back. iv got to do somin about it soon

Do you think flat is better than upright?

I didn't know some insurance companys wouldn't even insure. So is it expensive to get insured

 

[Underdog]

Do you think flat is better than upright?

iv only got experience with a flat. but my thinking is that theres a lot more area for it to slosh front to back on a flat tank than an upright.

 

[kev]

I use a trolley system, but I clean doors trad, for the reason you explained, especially in winter

Yeah i had winter in mind mate. My local tescos stopped the window cleaner using wfp for that very reason as it would make the ground too slippy. Would probably leave them open to getting sued

Daveboy you don't have to convince me. I 100% guarantee ring 5 insurance companies and 3 wont insure you with tank the other 2 will say 650lt limit. If you can have your insurance void because you didn't tell them you fitted alloy wheels to your car .

I know that a company has their workers carry salt in their van to put down after cleaning, to avoid being sued I guess.

And that's a flat one lol jesus it looks quite big

No kev the ones who will insure you are charging about the same as not fitted. That's why it makes no sense not to tell them just to be sure. The trouble is as some on here have found if you have just taken out a new policy and didn't have a tank fitted then you fit the tank and tell them some are stopping your cover.

 

[Underdog]

And that's a flat one lol jesus it looks quite big

its 600mm high x 1000 x 900

I was thinking that's what i would do it makes sense

 

[Underdog]

And that's a flat one lol jesus it looks quite big

i forgot to pull off one of the hose plugs to let the tank breath when im working.went for a good hour and half before i realised. tank was sucked half the sie lol

It doesn't cost any more! That is quite surprising. So there is a chance the insurance company i'm with might not insure me for it so i would have to cancel my policy and go elsewhere
