I think Payload is about 730kg so a 500ltr tank would probably exceed your limit.
Personally I would think 350-400ltr would be a safer option.

prefacelift doblos are only 625kg payload, 350-400 would be all it able to carry a 500 would put it overweight,

the later ones are 730kg, i have a 350 upright in mine could fit a 500l but would be borderline overweight when full,

there was a higher payload option from fiat and you can get doblos with 850kg payloads however they are rare. check the GVW weight to find out how much yours can carry

2006/2010 model:-

Mine is a 736kg jobbie with a 400L tank plus a 25L barrel or two in case I run out/park awkwardly and uncover the outlet at the end of the day.

I reckon 500 is top limit with no ladders and one up.

400 is much more sensible.

The very latest Doblo range gives a 1000kg option I believe.
