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\u003eDoes the tank need a vent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 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\u003eDo I have to drill the ports myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wheel-well tanks the 1\/2\" NPT ports arrive open and ready to thread. The 1.5\" ports are spun closed at the factory so you only open the ones your plumbing actually uses. Open them with a hole saw on the bench, before the tank goes anywhere near the van, and vacuum the shavings out. Plastic chips inside a fresh water tank are a mistake you only make once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between this and the SP-DU-25?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth.
