I tried to send these photos in a PM but failed..This is how I attached the valves to the tanks... In the MK 1 version I used ordinary taps, but they started to drip because there was small bits of debris being dropped in the tanks with the rainwater and they weren't closing fully...Solved the problem by using gate valves ...As you can see I used an "extension" to create a space between the valve and the tank...Also that was the only way I could get a good seal on the tank...Any questions PM me..
