I NEED TO KNOW PLEASE- can I use the gridded hole mid way in the floor of my Bongo for a outlet drain for my sink waste ?

Gridded hole? If that's a vent fitted by a convertor, then it's intended to allow any gas leak to escape safely so you wouldn't want to partially block it up.

Oh so it's not a standard hole then - it's a gas breather/escape vent for gas cooker is it ?
Thanks for info Simon as pervious owners had it covered with a large rear mat will now cut out section of mat so it can do it's job =D>
And I will have to revert back to my 5 litre (x comfort conditioner bottle) plastic container for the collection of waste grey water

Normally the gas vent hole is in the same area as the gas bottle, is that where the gas bottle is stored?

The sink/cooker unit is along the left side ((where the rear heater controls are) a small Gas bottle sits in a tin metal box in the cupboard under a metal lined shelf that is under the cooker hob, the unit is open backed so I guess fumes should go out the back and down to the vent that is in the floor more central.
