Title: Turn key tank systems
Post by: grantgoold on August 11, 2009, 01:07:23 PM
Does anyone know of a vendor that manufactures a turn key tank system. I was speaking with a fellow busnut and we wondered if anyone builds a "turn key" system for bus conversions. I would think several folks would love to have a system that could fit nicely into a bay, have simple and quick connections and have all the parts in one place for easy service and repair. I have seen something like this in a high end S&S and it got me thinking.

Anyone got a lead? Anyone need one?

Thanks

Grant

Grant,
    I think the reason we have not seen this is due to the fact everyone lays out their coach differently (both interior and baggage compartment).  Add the fact that different make/modeel have different dimensions, I think it would difficult to make "fits-all" design.  Jack

Thanks Jack! How about a simple design with common parts and the customer sets up the parameters and then the system is built?

Any thoughts?

Hi Grant,

Ardemco and most tank builders will build to your specs along with your cutout locations.

Bando tank fittings makes it very simple to make your own drain/fill locations on any tank you like.

Hope this helps

I have seen the sites where one can set up the tanks and their various ports. I am wondering if anyone has taken that knowledge and then built an entire system with pumps, surge tanks, valves.......to fit a specific space. I sure would like to see someone with that knowledge provide that service to this group. :o
