Ok, with a 1/4 of a tank of fuel, and all of the above, it works out that I can only carry 650 litres.

That's not so much an indication of how much extra stuff I'm carrying, but, rather, more an indication that, for some strange reason, my t300, which number one would presume was indicative of a 3000 kg gross vehicle weight, is in fact, stamped with a 2880 kg GVW, just 80 kg more than a t280 Transit.

I've been robbed!

 

Wow! If that's all accurate-that's amazing.
Especially the T300 but 2880 bit...
Will it change anything for you?

And what is the payload btw?

The payload has proven to be a bone of contention; it's somewhere between, 1100 kg and 1250 kg, depending on your information source.

I did fall in love today, though...



How inviting is that!

What are they new?
Didn't think it'd be much more...? (Though I know nothing about transits)

There are all kinds of deals at the moment, Darren, but all out of my price range.

Dreaming is always nice but sooner or later reality does kick in.
All the best with your quest.

Spot on, Jim.

My T300 is fine carrying a 650 Litre tank plus kit. But no way would I have chosen this van if I needed a 1000 litre tank. You wont find a short wheel base low top van with the pay load required "I think we need a bigger van"  

As i have already said, a transit 330 (esp the front wheel drive version, with its 1560kg payload) WOULD manage a 1000l tank. But if that isnt enough, a swb renault master SL35 has a payload of 1691kg, and that would manage easily.

I got caught at a weigh bridge with similar system but a pure freedom 650 litre in my swb transit 04 plate 260 .

This can probably carry 350 litres legally .

Be loads of Wfp people out there massively over

So I bought a TRANSIT T300 , 3000kg GVW . Stamped at that .
57 plate .

cause it was under weight doesn't mean that the axle weights where ok

Hi Neil!

I phoned my local police station and enquired there, with the notion that they would definitely want to take a suspect vehicle to the nearest weighbridge.
