Have you thought about getting a cheap trailer and putting all the kit in there?

Thanks for your comments I did think of trailer just think I would struggle with parking ,I think I will go for a 250 flat on top of folded rear seats,what would be the best way of securing this?

not sure! I wouldn't use the seat belts to anchor it as the seat belts are attached to the seat and not anchored to the floor.

barrels then just drop hose from pump into barrel as
needed 1/2 inch pipe to outside of car connect to microbore
on reel away you go.

little bit inconvenient going back to car to change barrels
but easy to store away each night and got whole use
of vehicle when needed
