a 1300cc engine van would it be enough to carry a tank of 400 l and equipment?

Thanks

I'd be very supprised if a suzuki super carry will legally hold all that weight...

Just checked it, a maximum payload of 500kg.

You'd be pushing it to legally carry 250lts of water plus the tank, system poles, DRIVER + PASSENGER and fuel

Scudo, 825kg payload

I know they're a 1.9, but the most suitable entry-leve,l 400lt tank van IMHO.

Depends on the engine of course!

My 1250 Doblo jtd pulls me - my 400L - my worker Dan and a trailer with 200L   - no problem - up and down hills - at all.

Any other 1300 diesel of older generation stuff or even 1.9 pre hdi/jtd stuff is sluggish.

if the 1300 your on about is the fiat turbo diesel engine in the doblo and combo vans then yes it will be enough, there more powerful than some of the older 1.9 engines

gutless, knew a car valeter who had one with a 250l tank and it really struggled,
