Nice job the Jake, did they have a proper coffee machine inside? :thumbsup: I bet all that glass swallowed pure like nobodies business!

Used about 600 litres, so not too bad, the cladding probably used about 300 odd, but that ear quicker and didn't need to much scrubbing..

Yeah I'm sure they have some nice coffee, but as they were closed I couldn't get in to have one!

 

[MrBump]

You have a 600ltr tank in that little van of yours? Wowser. That's no too bad considering the size of it all though. I'm about to order a 400ltr and swap it for my measly 150ltr I have already lol.

I have a 750l tank, but only ever have a maximum of 500 litres in it, but I have some jobs where the van is static all day, like this job, where I brim it with pure,

Never have that much water in it when I'm doing my usual round though, I usually hover around the 400-500 litres mark, but having the extra capacity has been an absolute beaut for the big jobs !

The phrase don't judge a book by its cover springs to mind, thats a big tank you have in there :thumbsup:

Ha ha yeah it's massive, at least if I upgrade to a bigger van I've got a tank to suit! All I need is more Jobs like this regularly and I'll be able to buy a bigger van... Keep plodding...

 

[MrBump]

That tank wouldn't be out of place on a monster truck lol, although I recommend a VW T5.1 :thumbsup: They can look awesome pimped out in white.

 

[Jake]

Surprisingly it doesn't actually look that out of place,

I'll have a look at the vw's, although I'm partial to ford vans...

 

[Dave B]

The ford trannie was always the best

Now they have the :turd: engines they're not worth it

 

[MrBump]

VW transporter looks better, ford transit has more practical vertical sides, VW holds its value better, ford cheaper to fix, VW is pimpin'... Close but looks like the vdubs wins 3-2 :thumbs:

 

[Jake]

The next van I'd like is the new transit connect l2 the ling wheel base model,

I lkke the size, low roof for ladders and plenty of room for my 1 man system, plus can fit a pressure washer in it as well...

Cheaper to run than a transit custom and easier to drive round town/small roads...

And amazingly has up to 1000kg payload!

 

[MrBump]

Thats cool, they look good, is it more like vw caddy max size? I still prefer the look of the vdub though lol, but both look cool. I was advised a long wheel base model couldn't do a 3 point turn in a normal road like a short wheel base, that and due to lack of parking spaces around here I went with a short wheel base, T30 verson which has a 989kg payload, you can also get a T32 which has a 1200kg ish payload. You could almost have an IBC in the back lol

 

[Jake]

I've got a long wheel base high roof transit connect at the mo, which is great but the new one is slightly longer which will help...

Not too worried about turning circle, 4 point turn is ok!

 

[Dave B]

I miss my old beastie..2.5l tranny diesel turbo

They were proper transits back then

 

[MrBump]

Didn't realise you had a transit already, van looks tiny it that photo, although it is quite far away so that could be it lol

 

[Jake]

Yeah that'll be why!

You've seen the video, so I thought you new what can I had?

 

[MrBump]

Didn't really pay attention to the actual van, too busy checking out the one-stop and lanyard haha /emoticons/wink.png

I see!

It need to sort your one stop out mate! Don't understand what's wrong with it!

 

[MrBump]

Sure do dude. Been too busy this week so far, but I have a new van-tank on order and will have to fit that and change some wiring around so I will try recalibrating the pump and seeing what I can do then, probably over the weekend. Don't want to have to change my hose if I don't have to so I hope I can get it working. Saw a lush black ferrari convertible today, I need one of those in my life! Now where did I put that lottery ticket... /emoticons/wink.png

 

[Dave B]

You mean you don't earn enough on the glass to buy one....work harder man:laugh:

 

[MrBump]

I think the closest I'm going to get any time soon is sticking a ferrari badge on the back on my van :rofl:
