Great video. Thanks.
I’ve just fitted the same tank to my LWB Sprinter today but I actually started the fitting with both sides of the brackets with nuts rather than leaving one side dangling. If you just put the bolts onto the very end end of the brackets, you have enough room to slide the tank above the front bracket from the gap in the middle. I then carried on sliding the tank forward until it cleared the rear hanger, then lifted the rear onto it’s hanger and then slid the whole tank back until it was centred on the two brackets. Hope that makes sense.
I didn’t drill any holes, used ones that were already there.
All in all, about 30 minutes to fit. (Not plumbed in yet though)
Thanks again and woeful that they don’t supply instructions.
So glad I saw this, before cutting my hatch on top. Thank you.
Bang on, cap on underside for easy cleaning👍tank square, nice one fella
Very handsome and very talented. Thanks for the great vid
Very helpful. Thanks. Any chance you could measure how far behind the front wheel and how far in front of the rear wheel it sits. I’m wanting to put a calorifier inside above the tank and need to work out if I can feed the heater pipes under and through into the van. Or whether the tank would get in the way. Cheers Mark
I'll measure up for you the weekend mate.
Nice one mate welcome to youtube ! 1st video with lots of great info. 👍
Great video thanks maybe test it leaking before putting it in place 😂 now got to fit mine
Thanks for posting, very helpful. I kept freezing the video trying to see the model number of the waste tank but couldn’t catch it. Do you know the model number of the CAK waste tank please? It will be three numbers. Thanks.
Hi Allan,
I'm not sure if the model number. It could be.. 070 or C70.
It is the 52 litre waste tank from CAK. If you type it on ebay, you will find it there.
Kind regards
@@sprintercraftercampervanco8463 thanks very much mate. I’ll look, cheers.
Thanks for crawling on the ground and explaining this mate! I've also got a CAK tank, bloody nightmare, they didn't sent me hooks, had to complain, sent in the end, but the brackets don't match up with the best position for me to hook, only one does... Gonna have to drill. Annoying, considering I actually bought the kit for my van you would of thought they bothered to atleast give you instructions that it doesn't just fit...
Where did you get the wider inlet? The original is pathetically small. Did you just sikaflex it on?
Watch out those screws from the floor I saw a few hope you didn't puncture the tank, well I guess some ventilation is fine ha. I almost did....
Hi mate, the links for what I bought should be in the description for this video. It was a pond tank connector. Yes, I used sikaflex on them both that and the inspection hatch I added.
I am yet to fit the normal water tank underneath. A video for that will be coming when I do.
Let me know if you need any more info on anything.
Nice on cak tanks sell ya tanks and we have to buy all the fittings and no instructions
Hope this is of help my friend. I have since sold mine and bought tanks from Barratt tanks as I changed my layout.
@@sprintercraftercampervanco8463 i paid 150 for my tank and no ispection cap shocking anyway thanks mate and all best on ya adventures
@@micathasteings cheers mate. The Barratt tanks I have bought have no inspection hatch either. They are made from 6 mm food grade polypropylene, so apparently don't need cleaning as nothing can stick to them.
I sold my CAK tanks for what I got them for. Then just had to pay more but the tank positioning is better for my design on these now.
no hatch, no hooks, so dont buy Cak, got ya, cheers mate lol
@stephenperkins3247 yeah, replaced them for Barratt Tanks
So just to sum up after all this how to do stuff you pulled the tank out after 2 months and got another brand, nothing to see here folks move on 😁.
Thank you for the needless comment. If you watched the videos. I changed the layout of my van. Hence me needing to change the positioning of the tanks.
The video should still, hopefully, be helpful for people looking to fit CAK tanks.
👍
@@sprintercraftercampervanco8463 OK then, my feeble attempt at humor has apparently misfired. I appreciate the work a lot of youtubers put in to share their experience, now I will just move on 😉.
