Anyone fitted a 650L tank in a transit connect?

you need to look at the payload fella, connects are small payload.
650l you want a transit sized van
-
Connects payload ranges from 625 to 900kg depending on the model
-
I realise the payload will be tight, but will a 650l tank physically fit in
-
What are the tank dimensions and is the van swb or lwb?
-
I havnt got a van yet. What it is I want to buy a system and I've got 1 company saying it should fit and another saying it won't, the company saying it won't are quite a bit cheaper and wanted to get it from them and I live to far away just to take the van there before I order it
-
Its likely that the 2 companies systems are different dimensions.
The connect's dimensions range from:
H - 1193mm L - 1760mm W - 1226mm Payload - 625kg on a T200 SWB Low Roof to
H - 1364mm L - 1986mm W - 1226mm Payload - 900kg on a T230 LWB Hi Roof
You'll need to speak to the WFP companies and ask for the overall dimensions of there system.

hi
thanks for the info, will have to get the dimensions

I would seriously advise not to put a 650l tank in a connect 900kg payload the lower payload one would be total madness and bad of anyone wanting to supply you said item, is not enought for a 650l system, it is not tight it is to small a payload, add frame weight tank weight, hose reel, fuel, you, other bits you are over loaded, 2 in one van and you are going to be way over,
if you have not bought the van get think again and get a bigger van, or get a smaller system.
-
If you want a 650l tank you would need a long wheelbase connect (also has higher roof) with a 900kg payload.
Even then if you fill tank right up you may be over the payload limit, definitely if you carry a passenger.

I have a LWB connect and have a Pure Freedom 500 litre system in and think thats enough,I would'nt go any more,mind you I have Ramsey ladders on top and they are not the lightest ladders!

is there room to fit a 650L tank in it though, i dont need the tank to be full for working but i need that size tank as i will be producing water for someone else, thats why i need a 650L not a 500L, so the payload isnt going to be a problem,
-
650 is too big for a connect, you need a proper transit to carry one that size

Are you able to go for a static system?

no i do have room to store a tank so it all needs to be in the van

I have just measured my 650 litre upright in the shed and my LWB connect,it will definetly fit in behind the bulk head but I don't know about a low roof connect ;)

thanks for doing that, was the tank 1250mm wide? i think that is a standard width for a 650L, that is the width of the tank that the cleaning warehouse supply and that is where i intend to get my system from.

650 in a swb? are u mad? driving around overweight is dangerous and stupid

why cant people just answer my question without make accusations, im asking if a 650l tank will physically fit, not anything to do with the payload.
A L200 then it would be over loaded, if i bought a L220 then the van would have enough payload and they do come in SWB varrient, but then not much else would be able to put in the van, and then last but by no means leat there is the L230 which only comes in a LWB, but has enough payload to be able to carry a 650L tank.
So why dont people just answer the question that people ask, or do some homework first before putting posts on here and looking like a dick in the process
-
i run transit connects t220 90 ps versions, one use to have a 650 upright no problem and now my new 60 reg is having a 650 flat fitted, both swb low roof.
these vans are brilliant, they are a true van and you will never regret getting one. when i say true i mean they are a commercial vehicle from the ground up and not just a car derived van!!!!!!! remember this.
thanks for that, its just what i needed to know, do you knwo the dimensions of the tank so that i could compare it to the one that i am looking to have fitted?
-
Sierra,
I may have mislead you slightly on the van dimensions as the width I quoted was between the wheel arches, but as you intend to fit an upright tank against the bulkhead it won't be an issue.
I think the overall load width is 1490mm
Regards
Al

sierra, if i had the choice like you have now then id go for a 650 flat personally, i think it does drive better and if you mount the upright behind the seats across the van then the baffles dont do their job and you get the swaying when you stop which drives me mad!!!!!!!!
i make you right as well about idiots that are quick to jump on the posts and knock people when they dont know what they're talking about ;) thats why i dont post most of the time cos i cant stand some of the idiots on here, trust me get a 220 90ps connect, they are the best (for residential i think)
easy clean, if by idiots you mean people who advise against putting a 650l tank into an 825kg payload van, then this forum is full of idiots (not directed at sierragls).
-
I think what he is saying it does not leave much room for other kit, ie 175kg
that would easily be eating up by weight of tank, fuel,ladders,hose, reel, trad kit, poles, and all the other rubbish we carry, you would be lucky if you did not go over the 825kg
-
My dispatch has a 900kg payload and is fitted with a 600l tank.
With tank full and me plus trad gear according to a public weigh bridge the van is right on the limit. A full tank of fuel at the time would have taken me just over.
IMO very irresponcible to advocate putting a 650l tank in a van with an 825kg payload.
-
i wouldnt put anything bigger than a 400L TANK in a connect with a payload of 825kg.its not good for any van to be constantly on the limit weight wise anyway.
i have a kangoo with a 625kg payload and 300L is as much as a carry weight wise.with trolley/trad gear/ladders and me then i think im comfortably under but not by that much i bet!
-
dazmond, a 500l tank in an 825kg payload connect would give you the same spare capacity as your 300l tank in your 625kg payload kangoo. Simple maths.
