No expense spared, a new 1200l bunded diesel storage tank has just
arrived in my barn.
Most of the assembly work is obvious but I am challenged by the
operation of the lockable inspection/filler cap. The logo shows
partial rotation followed by tipping up or lifting off. Reasonable
force does nothing!
Are tools available for fitting over the lugs cast onto the lid?
Bit like a fancy immersion heater spanner?

The pikeys will soon get it off, though these days I believe they
just heat up a length of 22mm copper pipe already connected to a
tank in their 4x4 and push the hot pipe through both walls of the tank.
Indeed.
1200L is small by farming standards so it is tucked out of sight in
a barn. No Sun, no weather- little condensation.
A 6" G cramp made short work of removing the cover. Moulded inside
were a couple of plastic strips which engage with a plastic
*ratchet*. Presumably to stop it jarring off if used as a mobile fuel
station.
Now to get a delivery before the price goes any higher.


Should've stocked up in April, if anyone was delivering back then :-(

Yes. I was still emptying the old steel one. d-i-y question.. how do you
safely cut up an 8'x4'x4' steel tank with a residue of red diesel?


Angle grinder.
