You can get a 500 litre tank in there, fits in nicely, we only fill them to about 450-460 tho for weight

too small for a 500L tank for sure.you ll be over the limit weight wise plus itll knacker the suspension.

why do you want such an unsuitable van for WFP?

payload is 590kg

Is the payload for a nemo not 590kg ???

A wee bit too small , if so , you'd be better of with a 250ltr or 350ltr tank

Payload is 660 and all my vans are new so have warranty, suspension was designed to take that weight so why not give it to it????

Also are single operators with just tank, reel hose and 1 pole in, nothing else

Granted it is maxed out first thing but as the day goes on it gets lighter, it was designed to take that weight so I don't see a problem really!

I've got a connect 230 with a 500l tank. It's payload is about 900ish and it's not far off the limit. We carry more that just the tank, reel and a pole though.

Payload is usually inclusive of driver as well so that can be another 80-100 kgs to add on.

I often see my mate drive past with the arse of his van dragging on the floor.
Might be his bum bag takings taking him over the van weight limit. Either that he needs to go on a diet  ;D ;D

Thanks to all those for the input 350  sounds good / ideal
have a connect at the moment done over 200 000 in it so it's done me proud
local work less days shorter hours fewer customers
smaller van is right up my alley all I carry is tank pump box  hose a couple of poles and a box of trad
a nemo should be perfect for me as 250 / 300 litres should see me thro the day

anyone a nice internal picture of there set up

Sorry I still don't get why you want such a small van with a small payload.  ::)roll

Running  part time now  only need 250 l for my days work 
all I need is a tank to suit my pump box poles  hose reel and a few trad bits
why get anything bigger when it's not needed 
Cheap of juice insurance tax etc
easy to park and cheap to buy and generally   a reliable tool

I've found in the past using a small van not very practical at all as was always having to compromise on what kit I could get in it due to space and payload which use to do my head in.

See where your coming from but my round consists of about 75% bungelows and mobile homes and i  have no real intention of expanding my work  - have gone the other in fact way loosing long distance commercial access issue houses and all they poope I didn't want so my  round and kit is pretty compact so I reckon the van choice I'm leaning towards  would work for me
still looking for a photo internal shot or two

I have the Fiorino with a 350 tank , cant fault it at all , for a one man band its spot on , i used to use a Transporter but found myself carrying so much junk i never used it was a joke .
The van is pretty much paying for itself with what i save on fuel
