Mk6 underfloor water tank?

[AK]

Right ok as I had the van up on ramps last night, due to staying over a friends who lives on a bloody steep hill, here are some pics sorry for the quality








The holes I used are already in the chassis, you could of course drill through the floor, but I didn't want to do that as I had already laid my floor

Hi Ak,

Many thanks for the photos, I've saved them on my PC so I can refer to them when I get my Tank.

Yours looks a very nice van, I used to have chrome door handle trims like yours, but some toe rags in Manchester nicked them all.

I hope yours are Glued on tight.

Thanks again for the photos, it is much appreciated.

Regards,

Paul

I used angle iron and threaded bar on the front of mine except I put the angle underneath as its strength is sideways and the bar vertically as that's where its strength is but mine is bigger heavyer and more rolf Harris er than that

[bigjohnthomas]

perhaps no threaded bar then

Is your tank in place of where the spare wheel normally goes?

[bigjohnthomas]

Yes had it made for my last mk6 but for some reason this mk6 is about a cm smaller under there and I have to grease the back of the diff up tovstop it squeeking

Happy New Year everyone.......These tanks do they have a drain plug so when not in use for a while they can be cleaned rather than have the water sitting in them ? Cheers.

i have to take mine off every year and clean the hairballs out of it as they block the drain valve up

The Blue 70l one I have has a huge round cap on the top 6" wide etc so could be cleaned but you would have to drop the tank if you mount it like I have
