Do you need to fill the tank to 300 litres, when you look at Mondays work you may only need half that as an example. You will be using more diesel too. If you're carrying that water plus your trolley, yes it will feel a tad sluggish.
But you get used to hit. Try not to bump up too many kerbs. ;D

yes it is a bit different, best bit of my week is a friday when i unload most of it and take the ladders of and i can drive up the steep brae at 30mph and in third gear instead of second gear at 15mph

I had the same van for 5.5 years with 400ltr + ladders + trad gear. It never let me down & gave me no probs, you just get used to driving a bit different with the weight in it.
Your van can easily cope with your weight. ;)

is the tank baffled, that stops the water weight being thrown all over the place, and makes driving easier
