If a van has a 600 payload what is the max size tank you'd all recommend fitting? the system will be a 1 user system.

i have a berlingo rated at 600kg, i have a 400lt tank with a 2 man set up,
-
Does the van drive fine with that size tank mate? as i have the same van.

mines a 'Y' reg 1.9d and drives fine, bit slow up hills but still goes fine.

i have a berlingo rated at 600kg, i have a 400lt tank with a 2 man set up,
With two men on board and a full tank that would be over the payload limit.
As a one man I would say that a 400 is the limit in a 600kg berlingo.
The hdi engine will be better but the 1.9 will "do".
-
Ill go with a 400L one then as i was only going to get a 300L in the berlingo as it was for smaller jobs etc but the more water it can carry the better :)

No not over payload, when I fitted it out I fully loaded it even with my triple set of ladders on roof, took it to a weigh bridge and had it weighed to make sure, got the print out of the results too!
-
It must be borderline though Richard . Mike
-
Would depend on the weight of the 2 men.
400 lts water = 400kg
2 13 stone men =165kg
Thats 35 kg for everything else.
-

Yer think there was about 20-30kg in it.
The triple ladders are never kept on the van only carry them when I do my gutter jobs so tanks are always empty when I do them.

+tank 30+kg
+ fuel say 30l =30kg
+ reel ?
+ poles
+ miscellaneous bit and Bob
And you're waaaaaaay over your payload!!!

So if guess the public weighbridge that the local police use to check vehicles must be wrong then!
-
I'm not saying that they're wrong, but if you do the maths you will see that the total = more than 600kg. When you put your van on the weigh bridge did it have two people in it?.

When I was working for Citroen, the Berlingo (1999 - 2005) van had a 70 kg allowance calculated into the payload for the driver. So if you weigh 60kgs your 600 LX had a payload of 610 kgs. If you weigh over 70 kgs then you have to remove the difference from your payload.

i know what you are saying. yer had me and my misses in the van at the time of doing it.
keep meaning to check it out again since i have changed it about so might do that tomorrow as im passing the place as im working out that way.
-
Tank full of fuel is not counted in payload
You still have 600kg with a full fuel tank.
-
Dont use brodex poles and you will be fine ;D

Yes it is counted, so that's 50kg to take off if the tank is full.

Never have full tank, unless I'm driving to parents house, only put in £10 at a time,saves on weight! It lasts me 2-3 days so not bad, plus got garage just down the road.

But this post is not about you,the OP asked what size of tank people would recommend for his van,you recommended a 400 litre tank which in most cases(apart from you because you only put ladders on when tank is empty or you only put a tenner o diesel in at a time,and the 2nd man in the van is built like Lester Piggot etc etc)will be overweight,so you gave bad advice IMO

the post isnt about me no, but im answering all the people that say about the weight issue,
as i have said i loaded my van up and took it to a publicweight bridge that the police use also to check weights and mine was fine and passed with not being over weight.
plus i never give out bad advise, especially when it comes to safety and law!
plus i would like to know where i have put that i have a second man work with me?? i might have a 2 person set up but i work on my own and only had one person help me for one day back in march last year!
-
i know someone who has a combo which is 605kg payload goes 2 up with a 500 litre tank it does sit a little low when full though ;)

Carry on you will soon learn.Not every thing you say is fact some times others know better.Bashing away at every subject will only create the situation were every one gives you a wide birth. I know been there done that,and I am still learning.
-
Would depend on the weight of the 2 men.
400 lts water = 400kg
2 13 stone men =165kg
Thats 35 kg for everything else.
Remember that an empty 400 litre tank weighs about 25kg

thanks for your concern and advise,
but as far as i know with alot of the stuff i have said in pasted like anything to do with electric, gas, pumbing it spot on as i've worked in this and still do for the past 15 years, thats the other side of my company and have to keep upto date with them,
as for other stuff, i know everyone has there own way of doing it. i say how i do it and everyone else says its rubbish or start attacking it, like on this post, just saying what van i have and that i have had it checked at a weightbridge that the police use and it passed without a problem,
