I'm planning to install a holding tank.

i have quotes from Tek tanks and Hendersons Plastics of Dereham in Norfolk.

Now everyone has heard of Tek-tanks but Hendersons was new to me and found through a internet search. They are quoting significantly lower than tek-tanks.

The main differences in spec is Hedersons use 8mm black polypropylene, whilst Tektanks use 10mm for the walls of the tank. bth include baffles, fittings, drop pipe and inspection hatch.

Does any one have
a) experience of Henderson Plastics as a business and supplier of tanks
b) views on suitability of 8mm polyprop as material for holding tank.

Tank will be approx 100L and simple in shape.

thanks in advance
Dave
 
I had tek tanks make mine in semi-clear/opaque poly which means you can see the level of the contents if you need to. Sorry but no knowledge of Hendersons but very pleased with tek tanks as it was an unusual shape and fitted perfectly.
 
Yes I did, but wouldn't recommend the company I used!!
First off, I send them accurate drawings of the tank required.
4 weeks later it arrives - nicely made but completely wrong shape!!
Then took over 2 weeks to get back in touch with company. Very apologetic, sorry we'll make a new one, no charge, etc, etc.
New one arrives in 3 weeks, fitted and now it leaks!!
No contact from the company since, so looks like I'm going to have to attempt to repair myself.
Any body want to buy a 10 gallon holding tank as a custom shape which looks like it would fit in a Westerly Griffon port forward locker, under the V berth, but is actually square when viewed from above rather than a parallelogram as I originally requiested in January!!

PM me if you want to know the company to avoid!!
