Watchman on metal tank.

[PhoenixServices]

Hi guys I don't do oil as of yet. Looking to get into it this year sometime when I've got a moment to do oftec and find someone to shadow.
Anyway, been asked to fit a watchman to a metal tank is it just a case of drilling a hole and screwing holes then fitting as per normal? Can't see anything in the instructions really.

I have not seen one on a metal tank unless bunded.

isn't there a screw on type to go on the fill cap?

Beware as they often don't work on metal tanks due to the signal bouncing off the bracings. If you decide to put one on, make sure you don't site it directly above a bracing rod or it will give duff readings!

There is another brand which goes on the cap I think.
