I had one for a few years.  I put a 'D' tank in, 300lt I think but I never filled it more than 2/3rds.  It used to last me for a day.

Poky little van with poor leg room but it ran on gas so I kept it ;D

A fiesta is a crazy choice for wfp. If you really want a small van get a bippa/nemo/fiorino, barely any bigger a footprint than a fiesta, prob about the same mpg (certainly around town), but 600kg payload. Even then, 350l is absolutely the biggest tank you could get away with (1 man set up).

It does not matter how cheap or what condition its in, its not the right van for wfp
I would think the reason its cheap is because as a van it has a very limited market.
It will only carry a small tank with very little room for poles or reel.
Have a look at Berlingo's not much bigger in footprint, but will give you more options

I have a Fiesta van. Payload about 350kg as stated.

It's ideal for me. It runs on fresh air (almost), squeezes into small parking spaces, and it swallows up my 25 litre water bottle, bucket and  trad poles with acres to spare. Can't get the ladders in though, so they have to travel up top.

What year and model are your fiestas with a 350 payload? Mind has 550 and has  a 250 litre tank in it.

Oh and it's for sale with all the kit ready to work

It's a 2006 fiesta 1.4 tdci, think its just coming up to 48,000. I bought the van when it was 2 years old and used it since. Good little van and drives really nice, well it's a car really with no back seats. If you give me an email address I can send them to that for you, tried uploading photos the other evening and I was having probs with this site.
