Its been document that having a cage tank fitted is a modification so to have a proper fixing you would need it connected thru the chassis.

But strapping is a temporary load.

So - If you use strapping points that are joined thru the chassis is this classed as a vehicle modification?

if it is secured to van yes it is a modification half I would say of people on here are not insured correctly because mislead the insurance company to get a cheaper quote, there are not many companies that will insure with the tank fitted or with a water tank inside.

hmm, sticky one.. guess it really has to be addressed with the insurance. I hate having to explain every little thing to brokers (who have no idea what your on about) for them to ask the underwriters.

No wonder people are probably not properly insured.

go to a broker that deals specifically with window cleaners/WFP equipment.

I used alexander swan.  It was more expensive than direct line etc, but apparently unless you get a written statement from the insurance company accepting the vehicle modification (and that IS what this is, dont be fooled) then you arent insured and if you have an accident you'll be up s*** creek.

I found that nearly all the big insurance companies will NOT cover a van with a tank in.  You really have to go through a broker.

My water tank which is held down with ratchet straps to a fixing that has been added to the van, is not considered a modification. With quinn-direct.
If i secured the tank with a frame added, a modification.

Quinn direct?  I got a quote from them through allied insurance, and was highly unimpressed.

Trying to get information out of them was like getting blood from a stone, and in the end i couldnt understand what was covered and what wasnt.  Did not fill me with confidence.  When I googled them, i found this:
