Gas tank Base.

[deere150]

Got a 2000 litre calor lpg tank coming. Been concreting base today, just noticed tonight we've made base 3 metre long instead of 3.5 metre. Anyone know measurements between the feet on them to see if I can get away with it ?

I made mine the size for feet to sit on and was told that wouldn't do. Had to be the length of the tank not just to take the feet.

3m should certainly be long enough to take feet. You may be lucky and not get an anal jobsworth to come and comission it

Great, hope it does'nt come until I've finished drilling and spraying.

Get on to the area Calor rep and tell them not to send Jobsworth A to commission it. I've had Calor techs turn up and threaten to switch off supply because they deem something "unsafe". Their colleague turns up 3 days later and says "that's fine, no problem" and signs it all off. LPG regs are a bit of a joke, and no indy LPG registered fitter really wants to mess with Calor, so they usually say whatever Calor is happy with.

Calor man said 3.5 m and it's on the paperwork. Got caught up now so should get it made right tomorrow.

Thought he might.
Try and make it the exact same mix as you did the rest otherwise it will set a different colour grey and remind you of your mistake and the Calor jobsworth everytime you look at it for years

Why do people bother with LPG?
You can buy oil from umpteen different suppliers and mount your tank anyway you like as long as it meets the regulations.
