If you was meaning me when you said Ian, I have a flat tank in one van a layflat in other, the flat waste a hell of a lot of scapce and the way the upright is, same goes.

hence my questions on this.
I am looking into the custom tank, my problem with them is the fixing of it to the van, I have some heavy buly things being added as fixings and am limited for space. lay flat just to much waste of space and from what I have found I do not like the rocking from them when half full, my up right does not do this half as much.
maybe I should get an upright custom made with correct baffles and cure the problem, what annoys me is the so called tanks over 300L don't seem to fit the job they are made for. maybe everyone here sign a form and sent it to makers and make them listen, 1000's use there tanks.

Alex, if this is up your sleeve then bring it on and make yourself the main supplier  ;)

Our new system tanks will answer all of these issues.

If you have a flat tank and it`s say 14" high you lose no room hardly at all lol how can you say you lose room,all you`ve lost is that low level space.With an upright you simply just lose that space you have no room to store on top with a sheet of ply etc.
NWH that would be fine if what I wanted to put on top would be ok, it will not as it weighes to much, as I said I have both, and flats take to much floor space and putting them sides ways in van would worry me as I have it length ways and it rocks front to back half full when stopping, i'm looking for a solution to space and safety

In the past I have used cut-up pieces of cheap drain pipe as baffles, when I had a 1000 litre IBC

Did it work?

It feels like it`s rocking because it`s no properly baffled.
