After three years of DIY, first with a trailer and 400l, and then with a van, yesterday i took the plunge and had my first proper professional tank instalation.
The features are.
Two roof mounted, electrically driven cox reels exiting the side doors.

An on demand hot system

800 litre skid mounted tank

A back to tank bypass on each reel feed (the benefits are i can take pressure out of hose system at night, i can fix and diagnose problems without turning on pole taps, i can defreeze frozen reels in morning by repeated shunting hot water in and then depressuring) So two ports on the top of the tank take these tapped bypass'.

Two tapped outlets on the bottom of the tank.One outlet feeds two operators, but the second outlet allows for a third operator should this arise.

My conclusion is I should have bought a pro system three years ago.

800 litres in a scudo?
have you checked the weight?

You got a heater too, plus you, fuel, poles and hose reel etc?
I'm pretty sure scudo's only have a payload of 900-1000kg

Yesterday? It's still early days to be patting yourself too much on the back clive.  
But you are one of the posters on here whose opinions i have faith in, so you could well be right?
How much and where from did you get this installation? A rough price will do if you intimidated the people into a discount and don't want to say.  
And have you taken some photos yet? It would be nice to have a look at it.
The description does sound good though. Even the electric reels are sounding more appealing.

I've already had one detailed post deleted mark- it may have been because i mentioned who did the installation.
The aim was to get the largest system possible into a small van. A van that is aimed at domestic, can park easily on customers drives, can attack the glass in under fifteen seconds of stopping the engine, and wind in in even less.

I paid more than the quoted price because they did so many mods. This is an exhibition piece and should be on a plinth at windex, it's the batmobile of window cleaning.

The cost was 1500(inc vat), but they used my bits (not the tank obviously).

If this forum allows pictures again i will put some up, the space created is unbelievable.

The system you discribe sounds exactly like mine.

Dispatch van, 800l custom made tank, 2 cox reels, 2 on demand heaters, LPG refillable gas tank.

Sound really pro.

Cheers.

Hmmph. I've only one heater, but it's the proper job and the tank is not custom made, but it does have it's own chasis which helps with the integrity of the vehicle as sub frames are the norm these days.My van is not speed lined either, but nearly all of the floor space is clear.

Reading the other post about the doblo, i can feel the wieght now.Some of my drives are very steep and i am going to have to be carefull with the clutch,

[brad2406]

Ok, not exactly the same.

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Superb brad, very pro'

Did you do it yourself or pay for it all doing?

[brad2406]

Just to show that diy can be made to look quite pro.

cheers.

[deerness windows]

well done marra

[brad2406]

Did it all myself, with the help of this forum.

cheers.

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

That's the best DIY system I've seen!

[Clive McDonald]

I thought you were joking. Thats excellent.

Point one i notice you do have proper heaters (what are they?).
Point two i notice you have one of them gas tanks you fill up at a garage
Point three you have the blue cox mine are yellow and obvioulsy in the roof near the side doors.  (this was because of conversion)
Point four they have installed a metal floor which gives integrity

I forgot to say in the orignal post they also installed racking in mine to get a 2.4m ladder in the roof as well as poles.

I'll have to keep an eye on you. How long have you had this system?

Just seen you did it yourself, very impressive.
