Presumably if it doesn't need a pump then the outlet is at the bottom of the bunded bit so if the tank leaks what's to stop the oil leaking out anyway?

I have a plastic 1500lt heating oil tank, its 15 years old and is probably near the end of its life. Because it is within 10m of a stream I will need a bunded tank as a replacement. At the moment its just gravity fed, if I put in a bunded one does it need a fuel pump of some sort?

It doesn't say on the instructions so I will have a look at the actual bits when I go in tomorrow, I will 'phone Plumbworld again tomorrow and see if they are anymore help.

On the invoice it says Ceramica Tuscany Toilet. Can't find anything else about it on the instructions.

I have just fitted a dual flush toilet to in one of my tennants houses, however a small pipe called a refill pipe that should go from the, "refill hole of fill valve to top of overflow pipe" is missing. It dosen't help that the instructions seem to have been written by a ****ed chinaman who...

The price match is complete rubbish, it says in the small print that the new offer has to be in writing addressed to the account holder, I tried to get offers in writing from BT and Talk talk, both said they don't do written offers as all the information is on their website. Ms Williams then...

Optimum calls are not at all sorry for the worry/distress they cause, this is how they make money. I have since found out through someone else they scammed that they used to trade under a different name, until they got too many complaints, they then set up Optimum Calls. No doubt they will close...

Rebecca I have already spoken to someone else at your organisation about this matter, your company were not interested in my complaint and were rude and dismissive. When I said that no other companies would give written quotes I was told that that was rubbish and that you were constantly...

Beware if you are cold called by a company called Optimum Calls. They will offer a good headline rate but omit to mention 0845 charges etc. The real stinger comes when they mention the contract as 60 months, on the recording of this conversation it will sound perfectly clear, however on the...

Following a plumbing inspection by wessex water I am no longer allowed to use a hose in my farmyard even with a one way valve fitted to the tap. Would the easiest way be to fit a header tank and booster pump? I can't manage without a hose and don't want the expense of a borehole. It won't get...

My in laws have had several quotes the cheapest for £4000. It needs a new boiler and a complete new flue, and it looks as though they may be able to get a grant for half of this. Unfortunately they now need planning permission for the flue, which will take 6-8 weeks. Brilliant South Somerset...

My parents in laws boiler has been condemmed as the flue is loose, the boiler is 20years old and it was pumping out carbon monoxide. British Gas quoted £7000 for a new boiler and to fix a new flue. Its an old part thatched cottage so the walls are quite thick and the flue goes up 10 feet or so...

I've got a woodburner but it doesn't have a back boiler, rather than spending 000's on a new one could I put a small radiator behind the burner then pipe it to a couple of other radiators? Would it work/blow up/boil dry? Would it need a circulation pump or would it work on convection? Thanks

I was going to buy a bi fold door but I was so unimpressed with the quality from the likes of BQ etc that I made my own, Simply buy a solid wood door then use a circular saw to cut in half length ways then get 3 butt hinges and join the two pieces together again, as long as you have the roll of...

Hi Can anyone give me a rough estimate of the cost of replacing my slate roof per sq/m? It will need new slates and battens as the slates are delaminating and the nails are rusted.

Hi I am in the process of laying an engineered oak floor, the existing floor is old pine boards, I have lifted a few to see what is underneath, it appears to be concrete laid over slates. The concrete is covered in bitumen and there are wooden joists set into the concrete which the floor boards...

Hi Everyone I have started to do more and more handyman jobs as an extra to my main job of farming, its got to the point where I think I out to have some form of public liability insurance. Can any of you reccomend an insurer or give an idea of premiums, thanks, happy christmas

Don't say this has stumped you lot :shock:

I need to put some lead flashing on a porch that continually leaks when it rains, at the moment it just has a cement fillet, will I need to use a lime mortar to bed the lead in as the main house walls are made of cob?
