He tries to run one tank down to near empty with the other one turned off.When he's ready to swap over he simply turns off the boiler, turns off the tap of the near empty tank, opens the tap of the full tank and turns the boiler back on.SimpleHe has a brother called Robert so as I often say to Mrs B .... "Bob's your uncle"
