Title: Transit picture request
Post by: Lee GLS on May 21, 2013, 06:42:37 pm
Can anyone that uses a transit put up a picture of their setup and what size tank and what size van you use?

I want to get a transit but just want to see what space there is in the back of them.

Cheers. Its a great vehicle, drives beautifully. The system is great. Its a grippamax, 650 two man setup. The only thing thats not ideal is the mileage. Id say on average you're looking at about 33mpg. Im used to 45, so its a bit of a struggle putting £50 a week in. It is worth it though, a dream to drive.

Thats not good!

In my road, there's me and next door is Stephen; bordering our back gardens is the driveway to Stephens Dad's house, Ryan, he's a window cleaner too.

So there's three of us but we're all snuggly together as we're neighbours, the fact that me and Ryan got in to fisty cuffs few years back is irrelevant  ;D

The first photo shows a 650l system, there is about 5' floor space from the cage to the back doors.measurement between wheel arches is about 4'5" and 5'8" in total from side to side
The second photo shows the distance from bulkhead to cage

Thanks for the pics and info. Looks like plenty of space with a 650L tank in the back.

What BHP is your transit goodfella? All the one I keep seeing are 85, which seems quite low for a van that size

I'm sure it's a lovely van  :D

KS cleaning what BHP is your van? How well does it pull?

Thanks for the pics stu, did you choose for the tank to be fitted away from the bulkhead, or did the fitters think it best?

I quite like the idea of putting equipment behind infront of the tank like that.

That's how the fitters we use do it plus I like it like that, keep all the not so used stuff there out of the way!
