Title: Who works out of cars wfp?
Post by: MNWC on April 18, 2008, 05:48:34 pm

as the title suggests

1) who works out of cars ?

2) What cars are they ?

3) What size tank do you have ?

Ive got a skoda falicia 1.9d with a 175 litre tank

And was wondering if i could put a bigger tank in ??

Shortly going van-mount, within a few weeks, 6 tops hopefully.

I take it you felicia is the hatchback or is it the combi.

I would say the hatchback would take a 250 tank the combi would take a 400 flat tank but may find it will not fit in between the rear arches.
You wont get an upright tank in i tried it when i had a felicia

I did put my trolley in mine though when van went for a service  but found it a pain getting it out.
I did take 13 barrels and a trolley out in it though apart from getting the trolley out it worked out fine

Thats the one i had also know as the combi it will take the weight of a 400ltr tank as it has better suspension than the hatchback but you won't get it in.

So a 250 tank should go in or a trolley and upto 13 barrels with the seats down

i used to work out of a passet estate

cart and 6 25 L barrels in the boot, some in the rear footwell if i was having a busy day

worked well enough, i now have a van, though still work the same way, so a van hasnt improved my working practise in anyway

used to use escort estate 1.6, though it was rubbish loading and unloading everything all the time, and fiddling changing barrels all the time. I used to take 8-10 25ltr barrels 4 in the rear footwells two in front passenger footwell and 4 behind back seats, pumped the tired to 30psi before, and that was fine, i tried to get over the barrel problem with a 250ltr flat in the back, but the car looked like it was doing a wheely when full so i didnt bother doing that, spread around with barrels is ok, though most cars are ok for 6-10 barrels. Looking at a nice big van down the road with twin tires on back axle, though currently using a two ton trailer with 500ltrs.
