OK - 998 minus 650 = 348.

Is 348 enough to cover you (and co-worker), your tank, your cage, your reel (s), your battery (ies), your pump (s), your trad gear, your paperwork, your lunch, your diesel, and all the other stuff that gets chucked in the average van?

13st is 82KG

two blokes 164kg
water 650kg
fuel say 1/4 tank 20ltrs 20kg
hoses, other tools about 100KG
total 934kg

if your running jet wash, jenny, gutter vac your going to be over weight they check this on mots the rest of the time you should be ok as its not like your going to carry 650ltrs around with you every where,

Think also of the clutch the suspension and the gearbox the brakes and motor all under strain. I would not kill my van.Will you produce water on board.if so go for a static system and save your van.
