Pretty impressive, control box looks the bees knees!

Can we have a wiki page?

I'm happy to do schematic diagrams if you need them.

thx guys and dolls

the schematics would that be wiring? as i know i built it but it took something like 27 wiring diagrams to get there and i dont have a full one, i kept changing it as it didnt do what i wanted, so dumped last fitting and did it in my head, i could prolly list parts.

plumbing is inline and NOT! teed in to water system, i wanted whatever heat it gave before stat open to speed heating process up so its kept engine side of plumbing not radiator/stat side.

also another 2 relays or 1 relay that switches 2 contatcs need to go in aswell yet for 2 wires on fuel senders (low level warning light and fuel amount float) now i have tanks, 3rd wire can stay earths.

think i tried jioning low level warning light wires same as earth with no relay switching and it doesnt work so may have internal circuitry and not just on/off in senders?

hi all

i wanted to work out my new tank size in ltrs, and found this site, looks really good also does cylindracal et etc...

http://www.regaltanks.co.uk/calculator/

and it even does liquid amount hieght to get ltrs spot on!

says that small tank is 56 ltrs (fricken hell )

theres an app on that site for IPHONE people  also andriod and windows

just installed andriod free app friggin awesome bit of kit...

18 inches, by 20 inches, by 9 and a half inches?

I work the maximum capacity out to be 58.2 litres, but thats leaving off the numbers behind the decimal, which would account for some of the discrepancy.

It is a surprising capacity for the physical size of the tank, when you compare it to the size of a 25L drum.

update...

started fitting the ol tank in which is also going to house the water tank/gas bottle and maybe fridge in 2 minds on fridge and if enough room? see how it goes... but yeah buildin a wood frame to hold the work top/sink basin and taps and a front for doors etc and 12 volt switch panel for lights and tv maybe...

[Rotary-Motion]

update...

got the tank up and running, filler cap and hoses fitted and also self tapped and made a gasket for sender unit (gasket courtesy of K.H thx kieth) then got the dual relays in and wired up to the switching live from control box... so whatever control box tank its useing on auto changover, i will see whats in both via the one dashboard gauge, also switchable while driving if i need to know whats in other tank for reference...

black cap almost looks like its been there all its life now, and the petrol stations wont throw a wobbler like pumping diesel into ya boot tank or back of van looking all very dodgy lol...

there also going to be a white filler cap for the water tank in the side of the van in the same panel as the black diesel one...

and guess what oh yeah baby we got pictures, nicey splicey...

[Rotary-Motion]

update...

chucked a few bits of wood in, still not quite sure where stuff is going yet?

you may or may not notice the passenger seat when clicked down makes an extra worktop in the picture. bang tidy

got a couple issues, 1 is the waste sink water if on the side of the road can go on the floor via a pipe but on a proper sight has to be collected in a can! also was going to have the gas bottle in the cupboard but i think this isnt allowed for 2 reasons it has to have its own vented compartment away from switches that can sprak/arc contacts, so very dangerous. as im going to have a switch panel in there somewhere too for lights etc...

so gas bottle needs to be outside so i need somesort of fitting quick coupler for that out the side of van gas rated and where the hell do i drill the floor for waste water...

HI

Why not just put a portable grey water waste container under the sink as long as its the same water content as the fresh water tank it will never overflow.This way no holes and just carry to water point to empty.Are you not putting seating in the van as you could make small box to contain gas bottle just fit a small calor one but remember to vent the floor in the box as gas is heavier than air it will fall to the floor
