Simplified Fitting Instructions

Before you begin: Ensure safe lifting/support of the van (e.g., axle stands or ramps) and verify no interference with fuel lines, brake lines or electrical wiring.

1. Prepare tank location: Identify the area under the VW Transporter in front of the spare wheel, clear debris and mark out where tank will sit.

2. Mounting brackets (if using a kit): Attach the supplied bracket set to the vehicle chassis using existing holes or supplied bolts — aligning them to support the tank’s threaded inserts.

3. Secure tank: Lift the water tank into position and bolt through the bracket points using the bracket kit hardware. Ensure the tank sits securely and does not contact the ground or components.

4. Plumbing connections:

   • Install an inlet line (½″ BSP) to your fresh water fill point.

   • Connect an outlet to your water pump or system feed.

   • Fit a vent line to the third port to allow air exchange when filling/emptying.

   • Use appropriate hose clips and PTFE tape on threaded fittings to prevent leaks.

5. Test: Fill with a small amount of water and check for leaks before securing all lines and completing the build.

Tip: Seal all under-vehicle drilled or tapped areas with waterproof sealant to prevent corrosion. When routing hoses, keep them clear of hot components and moving parts.

Compatibility & Use

This tank is ideal for campervan conversions, motorhome builds or work van leisure upgrades on VW Transporter models T5 through T6.1 that are rear- or front-wheel-drive. Mounting underslung helps maximise interior space for living areas, seating or storage, while providing a reliable reservoir for fresh or grey water systems.
