hi all, I have a 400 litre baffled tank setup already in my van, it's vertically mounted and presently unplummed for use as a break tank (if that's the right word). I'm thinking of setting this up as my break tank cos I like the idea of using it like you guys who have the bowser trailers etc. Anyway, it's a Wydale tank with a black lid on top from which you can drop hoses in and at the bottom it has a tap from which a inch thick hose comes out from.

Question is how would you set this up with a ball valve, extraction and water return, i.e. would you drill holes at the top of the tank for all or would the pw struggle to extract water like that or should it come from the bottom of the tank?

Ill take a pic of my set up for you in a bit and upload it. ive got my return coming back and dumping in the top and my feed and a drain hose with 2 ball valves at the bottom.

Ball valve for the outlaet of the tank/machine feed and on the left is the drain hose for the tank on seperate valve.



return hose plumbed into breather hole on tank lid.

Sorry if the pics are massive. took them and uploaded from my mobile.

Thanks Matt, forgot to mention how about the fitting of a cistern valve for filling up of water onsite?

Hi mate. in the second pic you can see a yellow hose plugged into the tank to the left of the lid. thats plugger into a float valve. i just drilled a hole in the side of the tank. i got mine from b and q but id recommend getting a high flow one from somewhere. thats my next purchase.
