The plastic tank (put in by someone ages ago) will now be removed and
sit in the loft, on a wooden board 40mm thick. I don't think it needs to
sit on special insulation.

There is about a six foot length of plastic padding stuff that is the
insulation. Also a two foot long piece as well.

I think it's up to insulation requirements, if the six foot length wraps
round the side of the tank and the two foot piece sits on top.

Of course I must also insulate all the pipework.

Please, anyone, let me know if I'm not insulating correctly, but
according to the link, I think I've got all the the insulation that
originally came with the tank.

An old trick used to be not to put insulation under the tank, so the heat
from below would reduce the likelihood of a freeze up. I expect modern loft
insulation techniques would not allow this...

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Richard saying
