So, what sort of value would be fair for an Omnipole tank on galvanised steel chassis?  I have tried to get my van fixed at a reasonable cost but it's time to say goodbye to it.  I could have the fuel pump changed and the whole fuel system cleaned out for about £900 - but where does it end?  Although that would probably fix the current problem (it drives but it's very poor performance - especially around town), how long till something else happens?  It's a Renault Trafic, '03 reg with 127,000 miles.  Bodywork tatty.  If someone knows how to repair, I would take anything over £275 for it - I've been offered that by some company, but they would want the tank removed.
Realistically, I imagine that they will buy the van.  But what about the tank?  It's an 800 litre red Omnipole tank - the weird rhomboid-like shape and it's on the galvanised steel chassis.  It is currently fitted into the van.  It's been in there getting on for 10 years - but tanks aren't the sort of things to wear out.
If somebody wants to make a reasonable offer for the tank and come along with a transit size van to remove the tank and take it away, be my guest.
I'm collecting a new van and delivery system tomorrow.  The old van is insured and taxed still so I'm not desperate (yet) to get shot of it all, but naturally I want to try to ensure that I get back some of my original outlay.
If you want to try your luck at fixing the van with the tank fitted, £300 should do it.  If you just want to dismantle the tank and steel chassis, you might be pleasantly surprised if you turn up with some banknotes

The tank concerned is similar to the one in the link below - but red and 800 litres.

Bad form responding to my own post.  The salvage company will be collecting my old van on Tuesday and they are OK about the tank being left in there or not.  They will be giving me £257 for it (not £275 like I said in the previous post - I got that wrong).  So, if anyone wants to dismantle this tank and steel chassis from the van, they are welcome to it.  All I ask is that you donate a tenner to a worthy charity - but I won't be checking.  You would need appropriate tools and a Transit sized van to put it in.  I would be available for a couple of hours on Sunday to be there, but don't expect anything too strenuous from me as I need to look after my back at the moment.  I'm not really bothered one way or t'other now that I know that the salvage company will take the tank - but I thought it might do someone a favour.

Pity that there is no response Walter. This is a nice system.

If I were near you I would jump at it.

Yes, it is a pity.  Even if there were to be no financial incentive for me, I do believe in recycling things where reasonably possible.  OK, so I imagine that the steel chassis will be melted down and re-used but the thought of an old, but perfectly useable, tank going to waste isn't a happy one.   It could even be used for rainwater harvesting if it was an area where someone wasn't too bothered about the aesthetics - maybe a farm or an out of the way industrial unit.  The only holes in it are on the top.
