It is designed to run unpressurized. Run a vent line from the top 1.5\" port up above the maximum fill level and out through the floor or a body vent. Skip it and the tank will deform on a hot day, then pull its walls in when the pump runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight am I adding to the van?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater weighs roughly 8.34 lb per gallon, so 10 gallons is about 83 lb of payload once full, on top of the dry weight of the tank. Put that number in your build budget before you order rather than after — it is the most commonly forgotten figure in a van conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 10 gallons enough for grey water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor two people washing dishes and brushing teeth, roughly five to seven days. If you shower inside it fills in two. Size the grey tank to match how you actually use water, not how you plan to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I drink out of it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vessel itself is BPA-free food-grade polyethylene, so the tank is potable-rated. What actually determines whether your water is safe to drink is everything downstream of it: the fill port, the hose, the pump and the filtration. We plumb potable systems with NSF-61 rated hose and a carbon block at the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairs well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/van-life-parts\"\u003eVan water tanks and plumbing\u003c\/a\u003e — the rest of the NW Conversions range\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold and shipped by Campervan Parts R Us, the parts counter of Noke Van Co. — a working van conversion shop in Roanoke, Virginia.
