the caddy is far too small and the payloads too low for a 650.you need a transit custom/vivaro type van for a 650.

400L max in a caddy.

I agree. In my view one man operator needs the following payloads. (Not legal, just practical)

400L then 700kg minimum

500L then 800kg minimum

650L then 950kg minimum and physically bigger than a small van

the caddy 2.0 ex british gas caddys are all non turbo so even if you wanted to fit a 650 tank you would be overweight and a struggle to drive up hills
