Hi All
Tank Security. Important topic.
I have a Merc Vito. It's got 'D' rings in the floor as standard. I've made up a frame using 26mm Key Clamp tubing (it's like mini scaffold tubing, galvanised). The tank sits in this and in theory it shouldn't slide about. I've also got a 1 tonne strap over the top of the tank using the tubing to secure it down.
I purify the water in my shed using ro and di and then transfer it from the tank (650 ltr) there to my van tank (350). This means I don't need other filters in the van. I just have a pump box, 100 mtr hose reel and poles for wfp cleaning. With the tank empty I can remove it all (leaving frame in place) in about 5 mins.
What have you done to make sure your water tank is secured in your vehicle? Have you bolted through the floor? Used straps? Wedged it in somehow? It can be expensive and inconvenient but essential.
Hope to see some good posts
