Post by: dan hughes on January 11, 2011, 05:34:55 pm
 >:(

please please could that idiot show this bigger idiot how to make it fit!!

I've even seen photos of one in there, but it's a no-goer with this one. 400 upright with lid on left.

It was supposed to go flush against the bulkhead (as I've seen them) but there is not enough room up top!!!

please help.

before anyone tells me, I know, I need a bigger van. but. I can't afford one.

if you look at top left were blue pipe is thats the top of the tank , i think it has wychwood written on it.

dont go through side door it will not fit ,go through the back doors long ways and as you turn it round it just misses the wheel arches and fits nice up the front.
the year of my van is 2002 .

the 500 is stumpier if you know what I mean.

but i specifically wanted the slimmer 400 so i could still use side door.

I've seen one with a 400 I know I have!

the thing is still in bubble wrap paid 150 for it so match it and it's yours!

North west wales.

I now have 3 tanks, going unused!!

apparently the 400l goes into the combo B (94-01) not the combo C (2001-present),

I've got a 350 in mine, 500l would be overweight when full

If you have the 800kg payload Combo 500l should be OK.

You could always get a tank custom built to your specified dimensions for about £400.

It's not a case of "which idiot said........"  it's more a case of "which idiot listened to him"  :'(

kind of. but mostly it was down to assumption and stupidity.

there's always an ass with assuming.

assumption is mother of all .....

I know!

who wants a tank then !?

Another 500 litre tank in a 2004  combo 2000  1.7  here.

As mentioned earlier a 400 upright will just fit, but it is tight, almost to the roof, better off with the 500 tank then you have overhead room to fit pole storage tubes.

Douglas adams had this exact problem, it was a three seater settee, and it had to be gotten up dog leg stairs that were  a smaller dimension that the settee.Incredibly he managed it!

He died, otherwise i'm sure he'd tell you how to get the tank in easy.

wats the ajustments yiou have done k the idea is with mine that the side doors in the kangoo is to run the hose from the tank to a old bakpack and connected to a bigger battery and run the hose out of the side window and 1 backpack as a spare and 1 on a trolley for the wife did think of mounting one on a skateboard i found fort a trolley
