How to fit a Fiamma Water Tank

We've been running with a fairly basic setup with regards to our water system, but now is the time to upgrade the storage capacity. I've decided to go with a 70 litre Fiamma tank, fitted internally as we intend to venture to colder climates in the future and internal fitment will reduce the chances of our water tank freezing.

    Thanks for the vid, I'm currently balls deep in my van conversion (first time). Too far in to quit but not far enough to start getting excited. Had a few dry runs in it though. Cheers :)

    No worries, it's good to know it might give others some ideas. Keep going with it, I'm still altering ours and we're now living in it, although the big tweaks and additions are done now. 😁👍

    The isolation mounts I used are linked in the video description. I mounted through the pump bracket in four places, then mounted the other ends, through another two pieces of plywood and screwed those to the van wall. It works brilliantly..you can hardly hear the pump running. Hope that helps..

    Hi Katie, thanks for watching.. I'm just thinking about how I would do this and I think you'd need a couple of G1/2" female to G3/4" male bulkhead fittings, with a couple of brass g1/2 male elbow 8mm barb fittings.. it'll add a fair bit to the price, though..nearly as much as the tank cost, I'd reckon.. the alternative is an electronic style water level.. I hope that helps, a little at least..

    Looked for alot of videos about these fiamma 70l systems, most descriptive I've saw yet, and like the water level idea, will be stealing that one! What are the fixtures like that come with it?

    Thanks very much 😊 the water level pipe is great, just to give you some confidence in how long the water will last.. 👍 The fixtures are okay..fairly comprehensive to be fair, the bolts will do the job, but I didn't trust the plastic water fittings after watching a couple of other folks videos. Felt safer using the brass fittings, though 👍 Thanks for watching..

    Hi I am in the process of fitting the same tank fitting from Amazon as you have fitted but when the fitting is tightened it deforms the black seals and leaks, did you use any other seals or sealant to seal the bottom tank fitting.

    Hiya 👋 If I recall, I used the silicone seal as I had the same problem..to be safe I'd probably add a smear of sealant as well as you don't want even the slightest leak. Hope that helps..
