 hi pete[:D]

 answer to 1st one- blue or green in holding tank,pink is for rinse tank for flushing,keeps bowl clean and smelling nice!!!

 check by bottom left hand side of door,should be a liitle plate there giving you the info re weights.or on drawbar on n/side.

 also check the serial number on plate and give elddis customer services a call,they are very helpfull re info on year etc.might even have a manual floating about there,if so they can print a copy for you and send it,cost bout a tenner.

 if you use the reccomended formula for towing weight allowances,ie 85% of towing vehicles max gross weight,van is approx. 1060mgw so that devided by 85 multiplied by 100 will give you a figure of approx.a minimum vehicle weight of 1250kgs.more would be better,but also look at the power to weight ratio,size of engine,preferable diesel,higher torque at low revs,min.140bps,to give enough pulling power.

 hope this helps.

When i 1st looked at the green stuff it only masked the smell and didnt breakdown the waste like the blue, Have things changed?

Also seem to remember some sites banning the green because if this.


Blue in the waste tank and Pink in the flushing tank.

There should be a weight plate near the door, Usually low down. The unladen weight is useless when deciding what towcar to use. You need to find the maximum laden weight.

Especially if you passed your test Since 1997.

If the van is a 1992 model the windows will be etched with the cris number and you should also have got a log book.
